The video starts with two police officers standing in front of a shop located in Juja town.
Moments later, four unarmed and visibly peaceful students appear waling in the direction of the police officers presumably from class.
The two officers descend on the students, roughing them up and forcing them to sit on the ground.
One is however not lucky as he receives several slaps and kicks from a police officer before they are released.
Below is the video that has seen the public express displeasure with the police.
The incident is the latest in a trend that has seen police officers clash with the public as their exercise what others have termed undue force in executing their duties.#StopKillingJKUATStudents they were walking innocently untill they met this officer taking his lunch there😢 #stoppolicebrutality. pic.twitter.com/U3NFQlGRnt— Jack sylvester🇰🇪 (@jack_silvesterr) February 9, 2019
The video which was recorded on Friday during demonstration by JKUAT students after one of them was murdered caused an uproar on social media with many hitting out at the officers for excessive use of force.
Tabitha Muthoni, a first year student at the institution was stabbed to death on Thursday night by armed thugs, sparking protests at the institution.
Earlier this week, two police officers were caught on camera harassing and roughing up a commuter along Thika Road-Nairobi.
Sophia Njeri who recorded the whole incident was arrested and detained at Kasarani police station even as the public protested the move by police with the hashtag topic #ReleaseNjeri trending on Twitter.
