Police evidence has slammed Pastor Kayanja’s claims on Bishop Kiganda and Ssenyonga .
ASP Musiime Hillary from the Criminal Investigation Department is the ninth witness in the case in which nine youths are accused of trespassing on the Lubaga Miracle Center church owned by Pastor Robert Kayanja in 2021 and also accused him of sodomizing them.
Musiime’s testimony included text messages between the accused Ssentongo Reagan and the phone number +256751406503 of a person whose name was saved as “Muzeeyi” and the evidence further showed that no pastor spoke to the youths before the attack on the church
In 2021, 10 youths protested at the Lubaga Miracle Center church led by Pastor Robert Kayanja accusing him of not paying them their salaries and sexually assaulting them during their tenure.
There was a heated clash between the church security officers and the youths and some of them were arrested. Through his lawyers, Pastor Kayanja sued them for trespassing on his church and defaming him by accusing him of homosexuality.
Recently we showed you the story of Pastor Kayanja showing how the police had helped him to expose the plot of some pastors by calling his employees while they were at the farm in Kiryandongo in 2021 mobilising them to go and protest.
However, according to the evidence presented in Mengo Lower Court under Judge Adams Byarugaba, The Criminal Investigations Officer ASP Musiime Hillary added gaps in the statement of Pastor Kayanja by the absence of the names of the three pastors he mentioned including Bishop David Kiganda, Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga, Martin Ssempa and Kiganda zone vice chairman Jamiru Muwadha saying they were behind the protest although they did not show that they were talking to the youths.
The communications read out to the court appeared to be text messages, videos, photos and voices via WhatsApp which were sent from Ssentongo Reagan’s mobile phone to the number +256751406503 where he had entered the name “Muzeeyi”. which in the forensic investigation report was found out that it is registered in the names of Robert Kayanja and all this happened before these youths came to protest.
The message read by a witness before the judge, shows one of the defendants Reagan, telling the owner of the number whom he called Muzeeyi that some of the employees were in critical condition with back bleeding and needed money for treatment.
He also asked his employer to pay him his 4 million salary so that he could treat his mother who was ill at that time.
In the WhatsApp messages read out by the court, the accused pleaded with his employer to pay him and give all the other youths the money he promised to sodomize them.
Lawyers from both sides debated on the evidence brought by the officer and they agreed, later the judge allowed the evidence to be used in the case.
One of the people Pastor Kayanja mentioned in the video conspiring with the children, Jamilu Muwadha, confirmed to the court that he was not aware of the matter and told the court that there were people sent to him asking him to leave the case to avoid consequences.
Judge Adams Byarugaba asked both parties to refrain from intimidating the people involved in this case and adjourned the case till April 5.

Ugandan Citizen Abducted, Held in Secret Detention for Three Months, Sparks Outrage and Calls for Justice
A disturbing new case of unlawful detention has surfaced, highlighting the ongoing human rights crisis in Uganda. A Ugandan citizen was reportedly abducted and held in a secret facility, known as a “safe house,” for three months, only to be released without charge or explanation. This incident, reported by NTV Uganda, has sparked widespread condemnation and renewed calls for accountability regarding human rights abuses in the country.
While the details surrounding the abduction remain unclear, reports indicate that the individual was taken without due process and held incommunicado—an action that has long been condemned by human rights organizations. The victim’s release, with no charges filed and no clear justification, has angered activists and citizens, who view this as yet another case of egregious abuse of power by the state.
“This is a recurring pattern,” said one human rights activist. “Abductions, secret detentions, and unexplained releases have become all too common in Uganda. These acts violate fundamental human rights and erode public trust in the justice system.”
The use of “safe houses,” unregistered detention facilities reportedly operated by security forces, has been a focal point in numerous allegations of torture and illegal imprisonment. Despite repeated calls from both local and international organizations for their closure and accountability for those involved, little action has been taken to address these violations.
This case underscores the urgent need for reform within Uganda’s security apparatus and greater accountability for human rights abuses. Observers hope that drawing attention to these injustices will spur concrete action to bring those responsible to justice and ensure the protection of basic human rights.
As frustration mounts, calls for both domestic and international pressure to hold the government accountable for such crimes grow louder. “One day, there must be accountability for all these crimes against our people,” stated one social media user, reflecting the sentiments of many Ugandans.
National Unity Platform (NUP) President Robert Kyagulanyi has accused Ugandan security forces of using excessive force to disrupt a planned NUP gathering. The allegations were detailed in a statement shared on Twitter, following an event held to honor children of NUP supporters who were killed, disappeared, or detained for their political beliefs.
According to Kyagulanyi, security personnel, under the command of an officer identified as Asiimwe, carried out a preemptive operation early in the morning upon learning of the NUP’s plans. The forces allegedly stormed the premises, arrested workers, and deployed tear gas to disperse those present.
“The criminals under the command of one Asiimwe deployed early morning, arrested our workers, and threw tear gas into our premises. They’ve cordoned off the premises and blocked all people from accessing the place,” Kyagulanyi wrote.
Among those reportedly arrested were Saava Peter, Mudenya Samson, and Turyasingura Samson. Kyagulanyi claimed the detained workers were subjected to beatings and interrogated about their political affiliations, with security operatives labeling them as terrorists.
“These JATT operatives asked the workers who they support politically, branding them terrorists and criminals—their only crime being that they work with us. You can imagine the indignity!” Kyagulanyi lamented.
This incident adds to the growing tension in Uganda’s political climate, where opposition parties frequently accuse the government of stifling dissent. Despite the challenges, Kyagulanyi ended his statement with a message of defiance and optimism, proclaiming, “UGANDA WILL BE FREE.”
