Self-styled bishop, Viginari Odonga of a suspected cult in Akworo sub-county, Nebbi district has fled to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a security source has revealed.
Ayiga Ondoga reports that Odonga disappeared when security team led by the Resident District Commissioner, Peter Odok W'Ocheng, raided the camp and arrested 16 members. It is believed that 10 people have died in the camp.
While addressing the gathering at the Women's Day celebrations at Boma Grounds in Nebbi town, W'ocheng said people should be on the look out for suspicious organisations and report them to avoid a repeat of the Kanungu catastrophe.
"I condemn the barbaric act of taking peoples lives forcefully. A church that deters people from getting medical treatment is an enemy of society," Betty Udongo, a Nebbi Member of Parliament said.
