A terror drill went wrong leaving one person dead and at least 20
injured on Monday, November 30, at Nairobi's Strathmore University when
sounds of gunfire sparked a panic.
The students were said to
have fled after hearing gunshots fired during the security exercise
thinking it was a terror attack. Images shows terrified students
standing on window ledges.
The university confirmed the mock
drill had been organised by the university and security agencies to test
the student's alertness and response.
The victim has been
identified as 33-year-old Esther Kidambi from the university's
administration. According to Mpasho News, Ms Kidambi succumbed to head
injuries sustained when she jumped from the 3rd floor of a building as
she tried to escape. She was pronounced dead by health officials at the
university's clinic.
