The Moi University fraternity was left in a great shock after the cleaners of the institution found a foetus wrapped in a polythene bag. The seemingly fully developed foetus was found dumped in one of the rubbish bins in Hostel J, a female hostel in the main campus. This gruesome find was discovered on Sunday morning.

The foetus, suspected to be born the previous night by an unidentified student was already dead by the time it was found.

The story of the find spread like wildfire and the Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) condemned the act with the Trending Topic, #SomeoneTellMoiUniGirls.

@VNjoro: #SomeoneTellMoiUniGirls Their education, wealth and good life isn't equals to a life. That child is a destiny that has been terminated.
