Kanungu DRC Warns On Cults

Kanungu Resident District Commissioner Kamara Bayeye, has expressed deep concern over the growing rate of cults similar to that of Joseph Kibwetere.

Over 1,000 people perished in Kanungu and other parts of the country under the ‘Restoration of the ten commandments of God’, a cult that was led by Kibwetere and Fr. Kataribabo.

“Kibwetere-like prophets are mushrooming everywhere in the district and are confusing the people,” he said.

“I want to warn you of another Kibwetere if you are not careful,” he added.

Bayeye was addressing people at Butogota trading Centre in Kanungu district.

“We should not see a repeat of what happened in 1999 when hundreds of people perished under the guise of a cult,” Bayeye warned.

He said the new cults caused insecurity.
The district chairperson deployed corruption among officers.
