Breaking News || Primary School Pupils Collapse as Police Use Tear Gas During Protest

One teacher described the situation, noting that about four canisters were thrown, with one even entering a classroom, though this was likely accidental. The teacher also mentioned that some protesters had entered the school grounds after jumping over the fence.

Following the incident, a rescue team arrived at the school, providing first aid to the affected students before transporting them to the hospital. The large number of casualties required additional ambulances to ensure everyone received medical attention.

The protesters eventually left the school after a brief clash with the police. They vowed to continue their demonstrations until Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza resigns. "We will protest until the governor steps down," said one protester. "We’ve given her two years to make improvements, but we’ve seen no progress. She’s been impeached twice but saved by the Senate. This time, she must go."
