Pastor Augustine Yiga, the founder of Revival Church Kawala is out on police bond. Yiga was released on Monday evening following his detention at Kawempe police station on Friday evening.

Police detained Yiga when he went to Kawempe Police Station to record a statement against accusations of raping his follower, Angella Ainembabazi in 2014. Ainembabazi claims that the pastor raped her in the prayer room where she had gone to seek spiritual redemption and financial breakthrough to cater for her siblings since they had grown up as orphans.

On Saturday, Yiga's followers stormed Kawempe police demanding his unconditional release, saying the charges against him are framed. This is not the first time, Yiga who also owns ABS TV is being dragged to court. 

It is remembered that in 2007, Brendah Nalubega dragged Yiga before Nabweru Magistrate's Court for allegedly failing to take care of the Child they sired together. During the same year, Yiga was dragged to the Executions Division of High Court for failing to pay the monthly up keep of Shillings 150,000 for the child as directed by court.

According to his lawyer, Evans Ochieng, his client was released on police bond around 7:30pm last evening and instructed to report to Kawempe Police Station on February 18th 2019 as one of the conditions attached to his bond.
