Wanafunzi wa Laikipia University wazui barabara Nyahururu-Nakuru kwa maandamano juu ya kifo cha mwanafunzi

Wanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Laikipia wamezui barabara ya Nyahururu-Nakuru tarehe 21 Machi 2026 wakipinga kifo cha mwanafunzi wao wa mwaka wa kwanza Hillary Vumilu. Vumilu alijerihiwa na jiwe wakati wa safari ya kupanda milima katika Subukia Viewpoint waterfalls na kufa baadaye hospitalini. Polisi walitumia mabomu ya machozi na risasi za onyo kuwatawanya.

Tarehe 20 Machi 2026, Hillary Vumilu, mwanafunzi wa mwaka wa kwanza katika kozi ya Media na Mawasiliano, Registration Number HD/COM/3444/25, alijerihiwa na jiwe wakati wa shughuli ya kupanda milima katika Subukia Viewpoint waterfalls. Kulingana na taarifa ya chuo, alipelekwa kwanza Michael Nursing Home, Subukia kwa huduma ya kwanza, kisha arejelewe Nyahururu County Referral Hospital ambapo alikufa akiwa anapata matibabu. Chuo kilisema kuwa uhamisho wa ambulensi ulipangwa kwa matibabu zaidi, lakini mwanafunzi alifariki hospitalini. Picha zilizozunguka mtandaoni zinaonyesha Vumilu akisafirishwa kwa boda boda ili kufika hospitalini haraka. Wanafunzi wamedai kuwa kulikuwa na ucheleweshaji katika kutoa ambulensi na kutoa wito wa dharura, na kuwahukumu uongozi wa chuo kwa uzembe. Tarehe 21 Machi 2026, wanafunzi walizui sehemu za barabara ya Nyahururu-Nakuru, na kusababisha msongamano mkubwa wa trafiki. Polisi walitumia mabomu ya machozi na risasi za onyo hewani kuwatawanya. Chuo kilithibitisha tukio hilo na kusema, “It is with profound sorrow that Laikipia University announces the untimely passing of Hillary Vulimu... He was a cherished first-year student who was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media.” Maandamano hayo yalileta pamoja hasira na huzuni miongoni mwa jamii ya wanafunzi.
