Justice Isaac Muwata will today Monday decide whether security personnel attached to Christian Life Church, are guilty of aggravated robbery.

The church belongs to Pastor Jackson Senyonga.

They include Israel Waswa, the chief guard, Ali Ojulongo alias Peter, Godfrey Mwanda alias Kefa, and Ivan Wanyama, a chapatti baker.

Prosecution team is accusing the four of assaulting Sam Mukula, the former member of Christian Life Church and robbing him of Itel mobile phone worth sh35, 000, and sh500,000.

Last week, prosecution led by Chief State Attorney Jonathan Muwaganya closed its case with four witnesses testifying against the accused. He is being assisted by Macbeth Agumenaitwe.

Prosecution case

During trial, the victim testified that he underwent operation twice at Mulago hospital due to injuries inflicted on him by security personnel attached to Christian Life Church.

Mukula told court that Wasswa, Ojulongo and Mwanda boxed and kicked him in the stomach while Wanyama broke his right hand and robbed him of sh500, 000.

“I was admitted in a clinic for a week but when my condition worsened with swelling stomach, I was referred to Mulago hospital for an operation,” he stated.

The victim told court that the chaotic scenes happened on June 8, 2018, at Christian Life Church premises along Umeme building and in the cell corridor of Kavule Police Post.

A medical clinical officer from Golan Clinic, Michael Oligo, told court that he examined the victim (Mukula) at Mulago hospital following a request from Police on June 26, 2018.

Oligo revealed that the victim had a fracture in the right forearm and internal injury in the abdomen. He said the injury was as a result of blunt object.

“The abdominal Ultra Sound showed the victim had blood in the abdomen. This means an organ in the stomach was injured due to excessive bleeding,” he explained.
