The men of God, who filed a complaint at police,
alleged that the pastor used the name of Nyakaseke Church and claimed to
have found sponsors for the needy children but conned their parents of
money with promises of scholarships.
Bishop Jimmy Katuramu of UPCIU said the suspect has never been a pastor in Nyakaseke Church and that the Church did not approve of his activities.
However, the suspect denied the allegations and insisted that whatever he collected from parents was his transport facilitation.
Rwenzori Region police spokesperson Bakari Muga Bashir confirmed the arrest. “He will be charged accordingly after investigations are concluded” he said.
