GULU – A pastor of a born again church in Gulu is under police custody after authorities and the Union of Born Again Churches of Gulu accused him of sexually assaulting female members of his church.
Ronny Odur was arrested on Tuesday following testimonies by victims who say he sexually assaulted them from his church and extorted money from them before praying for them.
His business card indicates that he is ‘Prophet and bishop of the Holy Power Centre Church’ located in Cereleno.
New Vision understands that investigations into the claims are under way.
Gulu District Police Commander, Martin Okoyo, said that if evidence implicating the church leader is got, Odur will be charged with rape and sexual assault.
