HOLY GOAT! Reverend Fr Busted With Suspected Stolen Goats, Bullets In Premio!
KAMPALA – A man of the cloth has found himself on the wrong side of the law after police arrested a reverend and another suspect allegedly caught transporting suspected stolen goats in a Toyota Premio.
The reverend, Rev. Fr. Peter Bwesigye, and his alleged accomplice, Gerald Tom, were arrested in Mpara, Kyegegwa District, in an operation that has left questions hanging over the unusual goat business.
And it was not just the bleating cargo that reportedly got police interested. Officers allegedly recovered one round of ammunition and two cartridges from the suspects.
According to Rwenzori West Police, the dramatic arrest followed intelligence indicating that a Toyota Premio, registration number UAY 719R, was being used to ferry suspected stolen goats.
Police swung into action on November 9, 2026, intercepted the vehicle and arrested the two occupants.
The suspects were subsequently whisked to Kyegegwa Central Police Station (CPS), where they remain detained as investigations continue.
Their Toyota Premio has also been impounded at the station as police dig deeper into the suspected goat theft and the ammunition recovered.
Rwenzori West Police spokesperson Vincent Twesige confirmed the arrests, saying investigations into the matter are ongoing.
For now, the suspects will have to explain how the goats ended up in their vehicle and why ammunition was allegedly part of the journey.
Meanwhile, Twesige has urged parents and caretakers to remain vigilant as schools break off for holidays, following the completion of examinations by many candidates.
Police say they are conducting community sensitisation campaigns to encourage families to protect children during the holiday period.
Whether the goats will be reunited with their rightful owners or the suspects will have a different story to tell remains to be seen.
