University of Nairobi hostel goes up in flames – PHOTOS

Property of unknown value was on Wednesday destroyed after a fire broke out in one of the hostels at the University of Nairobi, Upper Kabete campus.

According to the University of Nairobi Students Association (UNSA) Secretary-General Peter Ombewa, the midday fire razed down all property within the hostel which housed First Year students.

Mr. Ombewa told Citizen Digital that the fire was caused by an electric fault.

No one was injured during the incident as most of the students were attending their classes.

The school management has since called for a meeting with the student leadership to come up with a way forward, as the students were set to sit for their exams next week.
