The students are demanding for the reopening of the oldest public university in Uganda.  Makerere university was closed last week over the ongoing staff strike.

However, Government says there is no money for the salary increment.

The arrested students are being detained at Wandegeya Police, the Central Police Station (CPS) and Kawempe Police Station.
