Fire broke out at Maseno University on Wednesday evening after unknown arsonist attacked the school.

The entire administration block which houses the finance, registers office and the dean of students  was burnt to the ground during the attack.

No casualties have been reported as yet, as the administration block was unoccupied during the incident.

Fire fighters who came to contain the inferno were not successful and nothing was recovered at the scene.

Police suspect that the arsonist could be students at the university who had unresolved grievances with the administration.

It is the campaign period at the institution and some students had been barred by the administration from contesting in the elections.

Police are investigating the incident.
