Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has hailed Kenyatta University student for temporarily disrupting Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni's public lecture.
The self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) general took to Twitter to praise the rowdy group, terming their actions as "patriotic".
He also called on the release of Ugandan scholar, Stella Nyanzi, who was arrested and charged with cyber harassment and offensive communication against President Museveni.
"Bravo Kenyatta University patriots for chasing away @KagutaMuseveni today. But the best news is when patriots publicly chase away their despots - Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, @RailaOdinga and @WilliamsRuto - otherwise today's occurrence would be an act of cowardice," he tweeted.
The rowdy students chanted slogans in solidarity with his fierce critic and opponent Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine while delivering a lecture at the institution.
The group at first complained about being locked out of the amphitheatre where Museveni was.
This prompted police to lob teargas canisters at the rowdy students.
