Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has charged a Gulu town based pastor for illegal possession of properties.

Pastor Florence Lanyero was arrested last Sunday by a combined team of UPDF soldiers and police officers from her home at Kasubi Village in Bardege Division.

A photo that wildly circulated on social media in the past two weeks showed Pastor Lanyero dressed in an army uniform and had ranks of a captain.

On Friday, she appeared in Lumumba Hall where a court was being held at the 4th Division army headquarters in Gulu town.

Lanyero is said to have threatened more than three people by sending them her pictures while clad in army uniforms.

Pastor Lanyero is the head of Rest Arena Church in Bardege Division in Gulu Town.

Col George Nambafu, the 4th Division court martial chairperson, told Pastor Lanyero that she was being tried over unlawful possession of an army uniform and a military tent.

He said army assets found in Pastor Lanyero’s possession contravene Section 160 and sub-section 1 and 2 of the UPDF Act, 2005.

Lanyero’s defence team is headed by Capt Augustine Tumwebaze, also the 4th Division defence lawyer.

Court adjourned the matter to March 5, 2020 and further remanded the suspect to Gulu Central Prison.
