THE police in Gulu have arrested a pastor and his colleague on suspicion of dealing in fake diamonds.
Christopher Mutegeki, popularly known as Pastor Gordon and John Musereka, a businessman in Kampala, were picked on suspicion that they sold fake diamonds to Clare Ojera, a nurse at Gulu Hospital.
District Criminal investigation Department boss Zack Okot said the two were arrested by UPDF soldiers on Thursday at Anyeke detachment in Oyam, Apac district.
“After getting complaints from LCs that there were some men in town with fake diamonds, we alerted the security organs and the suspects were arrested at Anyeke as they were trying to escape,” Okot said.
He said on reaching a roadblock, the two stopped the vehicle they were travelling in and fled into the bush, but soldiers and residents mounted a search and apprehended them.
