He blamed the new cult believers who have barred their children from the registration exercise mainly in sub-counties of Nyamarebe, Ishongorero, Kashangura sub counties all in Ibanda district.

The Nyangakaibo believers attempted sabotage the registration exercise for National identity card and mobile phones but they were arrested and sentenced to a six month imprisonment in Nyabuhikye government prison.
