Kyambogo University has refuted viral social media allegations suggesting an impending closure and conversion into a military facility. The claims originated from a post on X (formerly Twitter) falsely attributed to Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba. This sparked widespread anxiety among students, parents, and the university community. University officials have dismissed the reports as entirely untrue and aimed at causing unnecessary panic. The institution confirmed it remains operational and committed to its academic mission. Authorities are investigating the source of the misinformation circulating online. This incident highlights the impact of unverified information spread via social media platforms.
