Commonly known as the FDC weekly prayers lead, Rock of Deliverance International Ministries (RODIM) Senior Pastor Happy David Ngabo was arrested on Tuesday as police moves to stop the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) defiance campaign.
Last week, the deputy Chief Justice, Steven Kavuma stopped Dr Kizza Besigye and the party leadership from carrying out their planned peaceful demonstrations on May 5 2016. This order also included a halt on further holding of the Tuesday prayers by the opposition party.
Monday morning, while addressing the FDC weekly press briefing at the party’s office in Najjanankumbi, the FDC party president Gen.Mugisha Muntu confirmed that they will continue holding the Tuesday prayer sessions saying its a spiritual right.
“We never knew this government could degenerate to the level of manipulating the constitutional court to make such orders stopping prayers. Prayers are governed by the laws of God. They are above any government.” he stated
Ms Polly Namaye, the Deputy Police spokesperson warned that anyone planning to participate in the FDC national wide defiance campaigns will taste the state wrath.
Others arrested included Pr Happy’s co-pastor Edward Ssenyange, Kampala city Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) suspended lecturer Dr Stella Nyanzi.
