Over 100 students from the University of Nairobi have been injured following a stampede after a power transformer exploded.
The 4am incident which happened at the university’s Kikuyu campus caused confusion and panic as many students mistook the explosion for a terrorist attack.
This forced students to scamper for safety with many jumping from as high as the sixth floor of their hostels.
Many sustained serious injuries and were rushed to hospital.
About 100 were admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital while others were taken to St Teresa and Karen hospitals.
Initial reports indicated that several of them were critically injured.
