Mr Obbo Johnson Emmanuel, a student of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Frank Bwambale a student of Journalism and Communication and David Musiri a student of Bachelor of Office and Information Management are to leave the university premises with immediate effect, according to the instructions to the Chief Security Officer in a tweet from the university management.
“As you may know, engaging in disruptive behaviour and organising illegal demonstrations often have a profound impact on the image of the university and the entire Higher Education sector. In this regard, I have received a report that on September 10, 2018, you alleged to have been involved in an unsanctioned demonstration in Lumumba Hall despite the fact that you are not a resident of that prestigious hall. During the said illegal demonstration, you are further alleged to have disrupted lectures at the College of Business and Management Sciences by forcing students out of the lecture rooms thus interfering with the teaching function,” reads the tweet by University vice chancellor, Barnabas Nawangwe to Mr Musiri before adding that on August 7, he issued the students a warning against the said acts.
According to the university guild president, Papa Were Salim, about 16 students had been arrested.
The students on Monday staged a demonstration protesting the 15 per cent tuition increment which was recently passed by the university council.
