Pastor Aloysius Bugingo and Suzan Makula have today appeared before Entebbe Magistrates court after they were served with criminal summons for entering a void marriage.
Bugingo is accused of engaging in an extramarital affair while still legally wedded to Teddy Naluswa while Makula is accused of accepting to marry Bugingo well knowing that he’s legally married.
Grade One Magistrate Stella Okwang charged Bugingo and Makula for allegedly contracting an illegal traditional marriage ceremony. However, the two pleaded not guilty to charges.
The duo has been granted a cash bail of Shs3 million while their sureties have to pay Shs10 million.
Meanwhile, the Director of Public Prosecutions has been allowed to take over the case from private prosecutors Male Mabirizi and Roger Rutaro.
Since 2019, the House of Prayer Ministries International Pastor and wife Naluswa have been at loggerheads as Bugingo filed for divorce.
