Renowned Catholic priest Fr Deogratias Kiibi has been arrested by the Police after he was found preaching in a church in Mpigi. According to reports, the priest had gathered hundreds of followers in church, an act that was banned by President Yoweri Museveni 10 days ago.
Kiibi is currently being detained at Mpigi Police Station as they wait to contact stakeholders in the Catholic Church.
Today being a Sunday, different religions have held their church services through Television/Radio live broadcast while others have preached via social media.
Due to the current battle against COVID-19 pandemic, Museveni banned public gatherings that attract more than 10 people. This week, he banned use of public transport as the country is currently on a partial lockdown. Currently, Uganda has 30 confirmed cases of coronavirus.
