Rioting Multimedia University students blocked Magadi Road for hours on Monday as they demonstrated against the institution’s administrators.

The students accused the administration of mismanagement.

Ongata Rongai and Kiserian commuters were the most affected after the students blocked the road with rocks and lit bonfires.

Anti-riot police lobbed teargas canisters in the air to repulse the rioting students.
