KDF and police have entered the university’s compound.

A siege that started since morning and has ended is just making FP on Nairaland. Stale news!

Terrorism is a cancer that doesn't respect any country or borders. RIP to the students!

Islam at its worse but all of that can be de-escalated if somebody like Buhari was at the helm...else they wouldn't send troops into Somalia and not contend with this bloodshed in the first place....God help them if those guys came with explosives,a bodybag full and 200 hostages,we could be de-facto Presidents of Kenya as long as the siege lasts or we detonate ourselves and the 200 hostages into paradise.

This is unacceptable. The Kenyan government needs to do more to combat terrorism in that country.
