Two Egerton University students have been arrested for causing a terror scare at the institution’s main campus.
The two students, Alex Wachira and Titus Ngare were arrested at the main campus in Njoro on Friday evening.
Three
students were reported by their colleagues for posting information of
an impending attack by the Al Shabaab militia on the institution and
posting a google map of the Njoro campus.
Police
have launched a search for the third suspect Robert Mungai who is still
at large and placed a Sh2mn million bounty on him.
The
scare was taken seriously by the students given that it came barely a
day after the horror meted on university students at Garissa University
College.
Kenyan universities remain
on high alert following earlier threats on the country's higher learning
institutions and key government installations.
Student leader Fredrick Juma said the two were handed to the police and are being held at the Njoro police station
Analysts
say the Somalia militia whose most of its leaders have been killed by
Amisom and US strikes is a pale shadow of its past that has now been
reduced to high profile attacks on defenceless citizens.
