Sarah Kwagala fellowships at Apostle’s Fellowship Church of Righteousness-UAFCR in Magwa Village in the Southern Division under, Fred Isanga alias “Prophet David” and resides at the church dormitories.
She sustained serious injuries on her hands, legs, and butt after her colleague she resides with in the same church hostel battered and poured hot water on her.

Police stormed the church premises and found Kwagala was lying helpless on the floor without any signs that she was receiving any form of medication.
She said her colleagues battered her severely for disobeying the commands of the church head Isanga.
“I misbehaved and sinned against our prophet, which prompted some of my colleagues to beat me up. They claimed that it was an act of instilling discipline in me. However, I am in too much pain, We are many here and living in congested dormitories but one of the ladies whose names I cannot recall now poured hot water on me. I have not received meaningful treatment ever since.” She narrates
However, Patrick Munyirwa, one of the church leaders denies Kwagala’s narrative, he says that she has a long-standing mental disorder that always compels her to commit suicide, but is stopped by her colleagues.
Jinja Deputy Resident City Commissioner, Peter Banya says;“On inspecting the dormitories, we noticed that Kwagala was lying helpless on the floor without any signs that she was receiving any form of medication. We actually noticed that about 100 children and teenagers alike were confined in one place without adherence to the Standard Operating Procedures-SOPs,”.
The Kiira Region Police spokesperson, James Mubi, says ;’”We shall tightly monitor the activities of this church to ensure that they adhere to all the SOPs and presidential directives aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19,”
