In Mitooma

The RDC Mitooma Ada Asiima this week arrested and detained the Anglican lay leader in Mitooma district for using the mega microphone calling people to come and pray at his church .
The lay leader only identified as Ntambirweki the lay leader at Bubaare C.O.U in Mitooma town council was found with mega microphone at his church calling Christians to come and pray which is against presidential directive that led to closure of churches .
The RDC noted that after arresting Ntambirweki, they met people along the way going to church which meant that he wanted to congregate people and lead prayers which is against the presidential directive .
The RDC added that Lay leader Ntambirweki was arrested and taken to Mitooma police station but he was shortly bonded so he will keep reporting at Mitooma police until his case is resolved
The arrest of Ntabirweki is similar to that of a Reverend Father who was arrested in Kisoro and another Anglican Reverend who was arrested in Rukungiri shortly after the presidential directive took effect .
