Makerere University Acting vice Chancellor Prof. Venansious Baryamureba escaped being thrown in a trench by angry university students from Nsibirwa hall of residence.

The students were demonstrating over poor sanitation in their toilets and internship money. When they went to demand for an explanation why the toilets could not be fixed and why they could not get their internship money the arrogant IT professor could not give them an appropriate explanation.

He was only advising the already charged students to keep quiet so that he talks to them. This prompted the angry students to get stones and canes so that they could discipline him. The IT professor had first refused to address these students and he locked himself in his office until the intervention of prof. Tanga Odoi, the chairperson of Makerere University Academic Staff Association.

The students also demanded for his resignation. The police intervened and the IT professor managed to escape.
