A form three student in Murang’a is fighting for his life at Kenyatta National Hospital after police allegedly assaulted him.
The student at Ichichi Secondary School in Kangema district was rushed to Murang’a district hospital on the night of July 25 after he and two others were allegedly assaulted by security officers.
He was later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital when his situation worsened.
At the same time, police have been ordered to open an inquiry file to help establish what transpired on the fateful night.
Another student, who was also assaulted after an abortive strike, was treated and discharged.
A relative of the student, Felistus Njeri, recounted how the school kept it secret the admission of the student at Murang’a district hospital.
Njeri said an X-Ray revealed that the student had a fractured skull.
It is said that police had been called to the school to contain the students who were planning to stage a strike.
The school Principal Mr Joshua Githinji said the management took the student to hospital after the matter was brought to his attention.
Githinji said the student stumbled and fell when they were being arrested.
“From my understanding, the student fell and was immediately rushed to Murang’a hospital before relatives transferred him to Nairobi,” said the Principal.
