The police in Kamwenge have arrested a suspected cult leader who has allegedly
been confining his followers and overworking them.
Police sources said Aloysius Ndyabawe was arrested from Nyarurambi village,
Kabambiro parish where he had set up camp.
The officer-in-charge of the criminal investigations department, Eric Otim,
said investigations were going on.
The Police said Ndyabawe had been convincing parents to give him senior one
children to study free, for over a year. He said the all they had to pay was a
registration fee of sh20,000.
The parents gave him their children whom he confined at his camp, overworking
them.
Ndyabawe’s sister whose name was not readily established, was reportedly
coaching the children about the cult’s “Divine Principle”.
Some children are said to have been promised to be taken out of the country for
further instruction on the religion.
The beans were spilled after feeding became a problem and some of the followers
escaped from the camp to report the matter.
Security personnel have become vigilant about dealing with questionable
religious groups.
