Over the weekend, Pastor Yiga was arrested by authorities for claiming that Covid-19 outbreak is a hoax and that there is no case of Corona virus in Uganda.
The controversial pastor is now behind bars and is set to be paraded before courts of law.
Fellow pastor, Wilson Bugembe pleaded with the government to pardon him because he is mentally ill. He was not aware of what he was saying in the video. “Pastor Yiga was arrested for false utterances, but I plead with Uganda Police and the President to forgive him. He has been doing the same thing for a long time and his television station was closed but he didn't learn anything. Give him two or three strokes of the cane and then admit him to Butabika Mental Hospital for mental check ups and rehabilitation," Pastor Wilson Bugembe said.
