Pastor Johnson Muwanguzi, a deputy of Pastor Kakande of Synagogue Church of All Nations, had been detained at Special Investigations Unit (SIU), in Kireka after he was found with two illegal guns and 87 bullets which he claimed belonged to his boss (Kakande).
Mr Andrew Kaweesi, the police spokesperson, said Pastor Muwanguzi was given bond at the weekend as police proceeds with the investigations.
“Pastor Muwanguzi was released on bond since it is his constitutional right. However, we are proceeding with our investigations to establish the exact owner,” Mr Kaweesi said.
Mr Kaweesi told Daily Monitor last week that the procurement and registration documents show the guns belong to Pastor Muwanguzi who has since failed to explain how guns belonging to Pastor Kakande were purchased and registered in his name.
A source at SIU said Pastor Muwanguzi’s arrest came after a man of Asian descent identified as Patel Kurash was found with a pistol and nine bullets which he would use to threaten civilians.
Mr Kurash is said to have mentioned Pastor Muwanguzi during interrogation, prompting the police
team to go to Mr Muwanguzi’s home in Bukoto, a Kampala suburb, where they recovered the two guns and 87 bullets.
