IN PICTURES: USIU stages protests over alleged grabbing of its land

The United States International University (USIU) students and staff staged demonstrations along the busy Thika Super Highway to protest the alleged grabbing of the institution’s land by a private developer.

The university fraternity paralyzed transport along the road for several hours as they headed to Muthaiga Police Station in Nairobi to hand in their petition to the police.
