Kankunda further alleges that the student took away a phone of a classmate and promised to follow her up for one good beating.
The Bee was in position to confirm that the student is a resident of lumumba hall. However, we weren’t in position to get a comment from him about the incident.
Makerere University students often attend lectures from reading and dinning rooms of some of the halls of residences.
This is due to the overwhelming population that cannot fit in the available space at the different colleges thus need to put some of the hall facilities to use.
