Pastor arrested over fraud, theft charges [View All]

by Eddie Ssejjoba

GOING by events of the past few weeks, the title pastor has acquired new connotations. First it was a Sunday Vision undercover story which revealed that some pastors were fleecing their flock.

Then the Police impounded a gadget that produces electric shocks and which they suspected is used to simulate the slaying by the Holy Spirit from another pastor. Shortly after, another pastor was accused of sodomy.

Now, the Police in Lyantonde have arrested yet another pastor formerly attached to Holy Fire Church of Pastor William Muwanguzi of Namulanda on charges of fraud, theft and obtaining money by false pretence. Paul Mbaziira, 30, who formed his own church, the Revival Word Ministries Church at Katovu along the Masaka-Mbarara road, was on Tuesday arrested at Kajjansi in Kampala following a tip-off.

The Criminal Investigations Department officer at Lyantonde Police Station, Opendi Osuna, said Mbaziira stole a Toyota Corolla car, registration number UAH 693L from Denis Kalamuzi, a businessman in Kampala and sold it to someone in Lyantonde. Osuna said that on June 25, Mbaziira allegedly hired the car saying he would use it to run his church’s activities in Kyazanga where he was staying, but later sold the car to Vincent Ssebitosi at sh1.35m.
