The vice-rector of the university in the Kenyan city of Garissa, who was captured by militants of the Somali Al-Shabab group 2 in April, said that the Islamists shot students taken hostage who could not quote the Koran.
“The militants shouted that they were from Al-Shabab and that we should all be afraid. They demanded to read Islamic poems, and those who could not, were shot, "- quoted him "Vesti".
The pro-rector, who barricaded himself in his office with several students, was able to escape only thanks to the help of the newcomers.
