A terror drill went wrong leaving one person dead and at least 20 
injured on Monday, November 30, at Nairobi's Strathmore University when 
sounds of gunfire sparked a panic.
The students were said to 
have fled after hearing gunshots fired during the security exercise 
thinking it was a terror attack. Images shows terrified students 
standing on window ledges.
Inspector General of 
Police Joseph Boinnet has denied claims that Strathmore 
University had informed the police about the terror drill. Nairobi head 
of CID Nicholas Kamwende said they have opened a criminal investigation 
into the incident.
The university confirmed the mock 
drill had been organised by the university and security agencies to test
 the student's alertness and response.
The victim has been
 identified as 33-year-old Esther Kidambi from the university's 
administration. According to Mpasho News, Ms Kidambi succumbed to head 
injuries sustained when she jumped from the 3rd floor of a building as 
she tried to escape. She was pronounced dead by health officials at the 
university's clinic.
