Senior Pastor Arrested Over Defilement

Police in Bukedea District have arrested a pastor from neighboring Serere District on allegations of defiling a 15-year-old girl.

The victim, a resident of Agoloto Village, Acuru Parish in Koena Sub County, Bukedea District, reportedly came into contact with the pastor in June 2024 when her mother sought his prayers for her sick daughter. However, it is alleged that the pastor befriended the girl in the following days without the mother’s knowledge, leading to accusations that he impregnated the girl.

Authorities claim the pastor also convinced the girl to undergo an abortion. After learning that the victim’s mother had reported the case, the pastor reportedly went into hiding. With the help of police, he was arrested in Serere and is now in custody.

The police confirmed that the victim is receiving medical treatment, and the suspect faces charges of defilement and forced abortion. Further investigations are ongoing to gather more details, including the pastor’s religious background.
