The 32-year-old church leader was attacked with a sword as he protested about a fence that had been put up around part of his church’s land in Nansololo village. Local Muslims had previously told the church several times they were unhappy it was so close to their mosque.
Meanwhile, five Christians in Budaka district have died after eating food laced with pesticide, following a Bible study group in Kachomo, a predominantly Muslim village.
The study group leader and host, Hajii Suleiman Sajjabi, is in coma. Four of those who died were his relatives: the fifth was a pregnant woman. Hajii had been reprimanded by a local imam for distributing Bibles.
