The residents of Luweero District have been dealing with the disruptive practices of a local cult led by Navers Veran, who claims to be ‘Jesus.’ The group’s loud and endless prayers have been a source of disturbance for the community, affecting the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.

These disturbances have been compounded by the cult’s defiance of government programs, including the refusal to participate in the 2024 census. The confrontation with census enumerators resulted in the arrest of Veran and Erishani Day Gresher, who were remanded to prison.

The community’s concerns about the cult’s activities have been validated by the legal action taken against the leaders. The police’s commitment to maintaining order and ensuring compliance with government initiatives has been welcomed by residents who seek a return to tranquility.

As the situation unfolds, the community hopes that the legal proceedings will lead to a resolution that respects religious freedoms while also upholding the rights of residents to live in peace.
