Ugandan Police have rescued Pastor Severino Lukoya of the New Jerusalem Tabernacle Church from being lynched by the mob who accused him of giving fake prophecies.
Uganda Monitor reports that Lukoya who parades himself as an ‘untouchable almighty god’ was on a special door-to-door ministration when the mob attacked him.
The pastor who reportedly preaches in three different religions – the traditional worship pattern, ‘Acholi’, Islam and Christianity was saved by the quick intervention of the police.
The Uganda Monitor quoted the mob saying, “He is not a true prophet. He preaches falsehood and false prophecies to us and we are tired of him.”
Reacting to the incident, the Agago District Police Commander, Albert Onyango, said the pastor was being attacked due to the transgression of his daughter.
“Residents hate him because of the past rebellion his daughter led.
“They also believe Lukoya is a cult leader whose presence brings bad omen.
“I think it is time Lukoya realized that he is not wanted in the district.
“This is the fourth time in less than two years that people are attempting to kill him.”
The attack on fake men of God have gone on the increase in recent times, the Police chief said.
