Controversial Ugandan scholar Dr. Stella Nyanzi has stripped to protest the locking of her office by an executive director at the Makerere University.

Drama started when Prof Mahmood Mamdani asked Nyanzi to vacate her office because she had refused to partake in a PhD programme at the Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR).

Before stripping, Nyanzi shared photos of her locked office terming it as “oppression” and threatened to “undress herselfself to the nude”. She then proceeded to Mamdani’s office where she undressed and deposited her pieces of clothing at the door.

According to the MISR website, Stella Nyanzi is a medical anthropologist with a PhD from the University of London.
