NAIROBI: The University of Nairobi has expelled 33 students including union leader contender Mike Jacobs over violence and destruction of property that occurred at the institution three weeks ago.

The premier university in the country was closed indefinitely after the students went on strike early this month, protesting results of elections of their Students Organization of Nairobi University (Sonu) leaders, where Babu Owino emerged the winner.
