Sunday, university’s spokesperson Yoneka Tukwayo and police could not verify what really caused the clash between students and security guards on Saturday night.
DispatchLIVE has reliably learnt that the problem started when a male student who was on his way to visit his girlfriend was denied access to Atlanta residence where his girlfriend stayed.
A student, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told DispatchLIVE that the security guards requested the male student to produce a student card.
