Amolatar| Three women from the Followers of Christ church in Amolatar are being held at Muntu Police Outpost after refusing to participate in the ongoing national population and housing census.
One of the three, Akite Jennifer, stated that she does not bow to the worldly programme because “the Lord is our protector and everything.”
Akite, who has a one-year-old breastfeeding boy, told tndNews that the child she has is the fulfilment of God’s wish for her.
She further told this publication that since COVID-19 in 2020, “we never bowed before any guidelines, but God kept us.”
“Sinec 2020, we left following any COVID-19 directives; we also do not visit any hospitals, nor do our children. For the Lord God is keeping us.”
Another Christ follower, Awor Monica, believed she is not a member of the world.
Awor added that because she is not a part of the world, they do not bury the deceased or visit the sick. “We believe that we will live in eternity or walk to heaven.
“I have abandoned my children and relatives for they are living in world, thats way l don’t go to bury anyone on earth.”
Apili Nancy, who also declined to be emuerated, reveals that they do not accept education or send their children to school. “Education is the root of evil.”
She believes God values more uneducated people. “For they are not destroyed by the evil spirit of education.”
To Aplili, education has brought diseases such as COVID-19 and now counting (census), which God does not accept.

“We do not have feelings for any man because God blocked our sexual reproductive organs,” she said.
“I will not live with any worldly person because I do not own anything on earth,” Apili declared.
Sergeant Olio Charles, the Officer in Charge (OC) of Muntu Police Outpost, said he received information from GISO about women who refused to be counted, calling it evil.
As of press time, no case had been filed against them because the police were awaiting additional guidance.
The OC encourages Christians to participate in the census, stating that it is for the benefit of all citizens.
The group, which consists of less than ten people working in Odyak parish in Muntu sub-county, claims President Museveni is being used by an evil spirit to lead them astray.
The group also does not take children to school or hospitals. They do not believe in relatives, for example.
