NEWS UPDATE: Police in Lyantonde are holding three leaders of a mysterious ‘cult movement’ for reportedly discouraging their followers from participating in the ongoing national identity card registration exercise. Thomas Tumwesigye, 51, Francis Tumugyemwa, 40 and Charles Bitwirwe,43, were arrested from their residences in Kabundabunda village in Mpumudde sub-county yesterday during an undercover operation. The three men are said to be part of a mysterious cult movement that has been covertly moving around Lyantonde, Lwengo, Sembabule and other areas in the Greater Masaka region sabotaging the exercise. Thomas Keith Eyaku, the district police commander, confirmed their arrest, saying the self-proclaimed bishops are being interrogated to establish the actual motive behind their practice. Each of the accused ‘bishops’ is reportedly said to have more than 1,000 followers in the Greater Masaka region which puts their total estimates at over 3,000 believers. Eyaku added that the three men admitted their actions, saying their faith prohibits them from using anything to do with numbers.
