A
pastor in Mukono district charged with defiling a 17-year-old school girl has
been remanded to Luzira Prison.
Sebastian
Mbuya of Delivering Power Centre International in Kitega village, Mukono
municipality appeared before Mukono chief magistrate Mary Ikiti on Tuesday.
He
was arrested by the Police on September 10, 2012 from Bamboo Guest House in
Mukono town where he was allegedly having sex with the girl.
However,
Mbuya who refers to himself as a prophet pleaded not guilty. He applied for
bail but his surety Jimmy Mugambe, a resident of Kikooza village in Mukono
central division failed to present substantive documents to court.
Mugambe
presented an identity card which was issued in 2009 and showing him as a
resident of Wantoni village in Mukono municipality.
The
prosecutor Hussein Ntalo Nasuulu asked court to remand Mbuya as the
investigations in the case continue.
Ikiti
remanded Mbuya to Luzira prison until October 1, when he will re-appear in
court for mention of the case.
In
his statement at Mukono Police station, Mbuya said he had gone to visit the
lodge following rumors that it was on sale and had interest in buying it.
He
said that when he reached there, he waited for the owners but he could not see
any and he decided to rest as he was by that time very tired.
Police detectives arrested Mbuya with a student at around
mid-night in the lodge. The girl who had first said that she was 18
years, was taken to a Police surgeon in Kampala
who proved that she was 17 years old.
The
girl later changed her statement to say she was ordered
to tell Police that she was 18 years yet in actual fact she was 17 years.
She said Mbuya had threatened her with death if she resisted his sexual
advances to her.
