Students were on Monday demanding for the release of a fellow student who was arrested for allegedly masterminding the strike. They wanted their colleague released.
The development follows a two-day lecturers’ strike which started on Friday. The lecturers were demanding for the resignation of the Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaiah Ndiege.
The lecturers’ strike was called off over the weekend. Lectures were meant to resume today (Monday) but message calling off the strike was sent late on Sunday night. Lectures have not been conducted.
The university council has issued a one-week notice to the Vice Chancellor Ndiege to step aside to pave way for investigations over mismanagement allegations.
Other top officers asked to step aside include: the University Secretary Sam Okorimo, Academic Registrar Rose Bwire, Dean of students Winfred Buga, Dean of arts and social science Cyprian Adupa and Dean of engineering Daudi Mugisha.
