A 21-year-old man, John Reagan Ngobi, has been arrested for setting ablaze three churches in Uganda after prosperity preaching failed to prosper him.
According to the police statement, the man was arrested on Monday and he disclosed that he became angry and bought litres of petrol after the preaching didn’t work.
“That his poverty situation motivated him to buy two litres of petrol and one for paraffin which he used to burn church property with the intent to burn the churches completely to ashes.
In his mind up to now since he left the fire burning in these respective churches, he still believes that the churches were completely burnt,” the statement read in part.
Mr Ngobi reported himself at Kira Division, where he is being held armed with three brand new knives which he told police were for self-defense in case he was caught in action.
