This blog is written with the hope that The Vice Chancellor of the University of Nairobi Prof. George A.O. Magoha, or any officer at the University, will read it and take note.
A couple of nights ago, we received an observation from one of the evening Masters students at the University of Nairobi that a young man of Somali features had been spotted taking photographs of the wall at Willoughby Hall opposite the cafeteria in Gandhi Wing.
Whereas this particular person may have simply been capturing some of the magnificent architecture of the University for posterity, the fact that these photographs were being taken at 8:30pm by a suspicious looking person deserves some attention.
The walls being photographed are directly above Taifa hall, and concerns were raised that this would be a prime target for someone with less than honourable intentions, particularly because evening students will be using Taifa hall soon for examinations.
There do not appear to be any security guards patrolling the University at all times...they seemed to be concentrated at the gates.
Call it a long shot, but Kenya has previously been a terrorism target in years gone by.
Can proper anti-terrorism preventive structures be implemented at the University of Nairobi's main campus at the earliest opportunity?

i think you should be careful on how u use ethnicity to describe issues i mean on the surface of it from where i sit what is suspicious about a Somali taking pictures @ 8:30.
think again
Your contribution is appreciated and acknowledged.
The focus was not on the Somali or any cultural background of the photographer, rather, it was on the taking of photographs of 'sensitive' buildings at night.
The thrust of the article was that the taking of photographs BY ANY PERSON at night in public buildings should be regulated.
I trust that this clarifies the position.
Nice article as for me. I'd like to read more concerning that topic. Thank you for sharing that information.

We have seen many students and visitors taking pictures all the time at the UoN. I think you are another brainwashed blogger. I'm sure you could have not written about this story if that photographer was just any other person than Somali. Prof. Magoha does not entertain nonsense.
