Electric fault, not Al-Shabaab attack at Moi University

An electric fault in students’ Hostel D at Moi University Main Campus at 5:40 am on Wednesday March 23, 2016 caused panic among students, prompting some to jump through the windows.
The incident occurred due to tapping of electricity by students from one room to another, causing an explosion in the process.
