Meru University of Science and Technology Student leader was on Tuesday afternoon allegedly shot dead by police.
Evans Njoroge alias kidero is alleged to have led demos following increased school fees and poor learning conditions at the institution.
Following his death, Kenyans on social media condemned the increased police brutality in the country.
Here are some reactions:
@bonifacemwangi A promising life cut short. Evans Njoroge astudent leader @MeruUniversity shot dead by@PoliceKE . His crime? Representing fellowstudents.
@RobertSyundu Meru University Students Sec Gen Shot dead at close range. He was shot in the head. Looks like @PoliceKE were given money by Meru university VC Prof Magambo to eliminate him because of his tough stand on fee increase.
@muchirih254 Thanks @C_NyaKundiH for the Meru University Updates. Media bado hawajaanza kureport. But you are a media yourself. RIPthe Murdered comrade
@Asamoh_Meru University students Secretary General Evans Njoroge shot dead by police. Don’t celebrate and defend police brutality. It was baby Pendo, Geoffrey Mutinda , Chris Msando and now Njoroge.
@Karanimutonga Cyprian Nyakundi started fighting impunity in Meru university and he was expelled. Today a student leader has been shot dead. Who is protecting VC Prof. Magambo?
@jkkoroshi Justice for the slain student leader
@alaminkimathi The killing of Meru University student leader Evans Njoroge wouldn't have happened hadn't you emboldened killer Cops in the past.These must end!
