University of Nairobi closes after violent clashes

The University of Nairobi has been closed down following a series of violent clashes between the administration, students and police. 

The top Kenyan University has more than eighty four thousand students who were asked to vacate their halls of residence.
 
Many have refused to leave, until they got their fees back. 

Students took to social media to complain about the University's closure, fearful of the consequences on their studies.

The closure follows the institution’s Vice-Chancellor’s decision to call anti-riot police to the campus when students were demonstrating for the release of an imprisoned opposition politician. 

Police officers clashed with students resulting in the injury of dozens of students.
