‘No bags please’ – students told as terror threats grow

In the wake of recent explosions in Kampala, Makerere University Business School (MUBS) has suspended bags inside the university until further notice and only transparent clear bags for books will be allowed inside the university, writes Muhamadi Matovu for the Nile Post.

On the morning of Tuesday 16 November, suicide bombers detonated two explosions; one at the IPS building along Parliamentary Avenue and another at the Central Police Station in Kampala. The attacks claimed the lives of six people, three of whom were suicide bombers, while 33 people were injured.

In a circular seen by The Nile Post after the explosions in Kampala, the officer in charge of the MUBS police station noted that bags have been declared a serious security threat to students and non-students during “these harsh periods”.
