Panic as Kenyan university stages deadly ‘terror’ drill

‘A security drill at a Nairobi university has led to the death of a staff member after many panicked when security forces used what students thought was live ammunition to stage a pretend attack on the school.

Social media went into overdrive on Monday afternoon as security forces simulated an attack against Strathmore University’s Madaraka campus in the Kenyan capital – with many believing the incident was real.

The university confirmed to Al Jazeera that a 33-year-old staff member died “from severe head injuries”.

“Efforts to resuscitate her failed, and she succumbed to the injuries,” a university spokeswoman said, adding that 31 people had been taken to three area hospitals.

It was not immediately clear what led to the staff member’s death, but local media reported that a number people jumped from the third storey of a building to flee “attackers” during the drill, while photographs showed others perched on the ledges of a building.’
