In Sheema—

The Bishop of West Ankole diocese has revealed that he will punish Erimonsi Mubangira a catechist who allegedly defiled a 16 year old girl at Oburamu Church of Uganda Kabwohe archdeaconry after the area archdeacon has furnished him with enough information.

Bishop Johnson said this in an exclusive interview with www.mknewslink.com managing editor at Bweranyingi Girls SSS on the sidelines of West Ankole diocese clergy retreat.

He noted that as soon as he gets a report, he will act immediately because he does not tolerate indiscipline amongst the clergy in West Ankole diocese.

Erimonsi Mubangira was during Christmas festival arrested for allegedly defiling a 16 year old minor.

According to Benon Mugyenyi OC Kihunda police post, Erimonsi Mubangira defiled a minor resident of Kihunda cell Sheema municipality, Sheema district.

Mugyenyi told www.mknewslink.com reporter that the suspect was arrested by Police who later released him on bond after his reverend claimed that arresting him would tarnish the name of the Church.

He added that they later realized that the bond was a mistake and tried to re arrest him but he is currently hiding himself in unknown place.

The victim narrated that the catechist who found her near the church forced her into his house and defiled her after making an alarm but no one was there to rescue her.

However, Jennifer Barimu Mother’s Union leader of Oburama C.O.U told this reporter that Erimonsi claimed that the victim broke into his fence and when he tried to chase her away, she refused which forced him to seriously cane her.
