Updated Wed, June 29th 2016 at 12:28 GMT +3A parent of a student who perished in the Garissa University attack has sued the State and the institution for failing to protect his son. Gakuru Michire, father of the late Samuel Michire, moved to the High Court yesterday seeking compensation for the failure by the State and university to secure his son from Al Shabaab militants. On April 2, 2015, gunmen stormed the college in Garissa, killing 148 people and injuring 79 others. Police said Kuno was behind several attacks, including the Mandera one in which over 60 people were killed. Michire claims his son was killed due to inability by State's security agents to first detect the threat and subsequent failure to respond in time when the attack occurred.
