Pastor Samuel Kalibbala, the Pentecostal Pastor in Mityana District who allegedly varnished with over 20 followers of his church, has been arrested.
He was arrested by police on Friday with a group of 12 people at his home in Naama Village, Busimbi Division, Mityana Municipality.
Rachael Kawala, Wamala Region Police spokesperson, says that the Pastor was arrested through intelligence-led information.
“Before the arrest, five victims in a disappearance case had resurfaced and reported to Mityana Central Police Station on May 26, which prompted us to intensify our intelligence and have him arrested on Friday, May 27,” says Kawala.
She further discloses that five other suspects are in police custody at Mityana CPS to help with investigations into the same matter.
“These include the founder of Nakwangu Church of Christ Christian Centre, ‘pastor’ Benard Twajira Yezu, 64, Ttamu Village resident Eric Kawuki, 20, student Shakim Sekyewa, 18, teacher Harriet Kajubi, 53, and a 62-year-old midwife, Harriet Nalweyiso,” she says.
