Christians ‘abandon’ church after married man caught having sex with girlfriend on pulpit

By David Atangana.

Christians of a church in the Kayunga District of Uganda have temporarily suspended worship at the Bugonya Church of Uganda after a couple was caught red-handed having sex on the alter, close to the pulpit.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, in the church of Uganda in Kayunga district.

The couple, a married 23-year-old male Catholic and his recently divorced Muslim lover were reportedly caught pants down by the man’s wife who raised the alarm, drawing the attention of nearby residents.

The two according to local reports were briefly detained before being allowed to go pending further legal action:

“The two were arrested amid condemnation from residents. A headgear belonging to the woman and a T-shirt for the man are being kept at the Local Council’s (LC) residence as exhibits,” narrated George William Kanda, chairman of Bugonya LC1.

Local media further report that the couple accessed the church through the windows since the doors were locked.

A case of promiscuity has reportedly been raised against the couple who were freed thereafter.

The man has however gone missing since being charged but authorities say, “A case does not rot. He will answer for his sin anytime he comes back.”

Worshippers who had vowed not to set foot in the church following the ‘abominable’ incident are now calling church leaders to organise a cleansing ceremony to sanctify the premises.
