LIRA
A pastor who is alleged to have sexually abused several childless women in Lira District in the name of making them “fertile” was on Tuesday arrested following complaints from church members and the public.

The suspect, who claims to solve all the personal problems in this world, is also accused of extorting money from the public under the disguise of giving them “blessings”.

Mr Francis Liiga Francis, the officer in charge of Lira Main market police post, confirmed the pastor attached to Pentecostal Ministries in Lira was arrested following complaints from the market vendors that he has been extorting.

“Some of the women claim the suspect has been sexually abusing them,” Mr Liiga told Daily Monitor. “There is a scenario where he is reported to have been washing the private parts of these women with what he calls anointing water”.

The suspect allegedly asked the victims to put Shs150, 000 in envelopes and hand over to him, claiming that if they did so their financial and personal problems would be solved.

The police said the pastor also gave dirty water to some businesswomen and instructed them to pour on food they are cooking in their restaurants so that they could attract many customers.
North Kyoga regional police spokesman, Mr Mansur Suwed, urged those who felt victims at the hands of the pastor to go and record their statements at Lira Main market police post where the suspect was being held.

However, the suspect denied any wrongdoing, claiming he was just praying for those who go to him seeking God’s intervention on their various problems.
