The group appeared before Nakawa Chief Magistrates Court on April 25, facing charges of incitement to violence, unlawful assembly, and rioting. They pleaded not guilty, but the court denied their bail request, citing ongoing investigations. They are set to return to court on April 29. One student requested an earlier date due to upcoming exams, but the magistrate declined.

The protests began on April 23, with students accusing the university of imposing unfair tuition surcharges. The demonstration turned chaotic, leading to the arrest of Akiso and others.

Kyambogo University has not yet commented on the situation. Meanwhile, the case continues to draw widespread attention, highlighting persistent tensions over university financial policies and students’ rights.
