It is said that the two ladies had entered this man\u2019s house Thursday last week for prayers to be rescued from attacks of evil spirits.<\/p>\n
Until Tuesday this week, the younger sibling who is reportedly possessed was still in that room tied up and unable to eat anything.<\/p>\n
Bumbogo Sector Social Affairs Officer, Chantal Uwimana, told IGIHE that the evangelist is one of other evangelists whose churches had been shut and local authorities were not aware of its reopening at the suspect’s home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe closed his church but then he opened a prayer room at home. One of the ladies was reportedly possessed so she went there with her older sister because he claimed to heal possessed people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The information of this incident leaked when one of the ladies who was not ill had a dispute with the evangelist\u2019s wife who is also a so-called a healer. <\/p>\n
It is said that when the ladies arrived in this household, the pastor\u2019s wife forbade the one who was not ill from praying and hence the conflict arose. After she refused to heed her warning, the older lady and the evangelist\u2019s wife had a scuffle. The lady was injured, tied up and locked in the same room with her sibling.<\/p>\n
The couple (evangelist and wife) then ordered their small child to raise the volume of their radio lest the noise leaked outdoors. However, afterwards the radio was switched off making neighbors and residents hear the voices of the screaming ladies who were calling out for people to come to their rescue. Security personnel in the area then arrived, broke the door, and took them out of the room.<\/p>\n
The victims were instantly taken to Ndera Neuropsychiatric Hospital while the pastor was arrested and taken to Rwanda Bureau of Investigation (RIB) STATION in Bumbogo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
