Police have arrested ten Egerton University students as riots rocked the Njoro campus where first and fourth-year students were expected to sit their examinations.

Police in full riot gear descended on groups of second, third and fifth-year students who had gathered at the campus gate to try and force their way into the institution, even as management refused to recall them after the December 4, 2019 demonstrations.
