University of Nairobi has been closed indefinitely following student unrest.
The learners blocked Lower Kabete Road protesting last Thursday's invasion and assault by police.
The University Senate announced the immediate closure citing deteriorating security situation.
Vice Chancellor Peter Mbithi, through Twitter on Tuesday, said students should vacate halls residence not later than 9.00am.
Last night, students at the main campus also held demonstrations and barricaded Mamlaka Road and State House Road.
This was before police dispersed them.
The students demanded that Prof Mbithi resigns accusing him of inviting the anti-riot police to invade their lecture halls and hostels to assault them.
