One of the elderly pastors and members of the Christ Disciple’s Church (CDC) who left Uganda for Ethiopia on alleged missionary work has recently died.
William Ojangole alias Obama, formerly a resident of Owarakwap village in Kadungulu sub-county, Serere district died Saturday evening after suffering a heart attack early in the day. Ojangole reportedly woke up well on Saturday, prayed, and fasted for a half day.
At around 4 pm, he reportedly refreshed and broke his fast. Joseph Okuda, one of his sons says that the old man reportedly developed some complications while having a meal.
“He looked very fine in the morning until evening when he concluded the fasting session. Mama noticed that he was not fine but decided to serve him food. He ate briefly and ran to the toilet where he collapsed,” Okuda said in a phone interview.
According to Okuda, his father was buried on Sunday morning since the condition couldn’t allow the family to repatriate his remains. He adds that before the burial, they noticed that blood was oozing from the nose and mouth of the deceased while the stomach swelled too fast.
Ojangole and a group of more than 200 Christians belonging to the Christ Disciple’s Church in Serere and Ngora districts sneaked into Ethiopia in February this year. Information within the circles of CDC members indicates that the Christians were fleeing from ‘doom’s day’ that was set to befall Uganda.
It later emerged that the Christians were on a mission to transform the Ateker community in Ethiopia. Since then, little has been revealed about the welfare or purpose of the journey by the “missionaries’ to Ethiopia by the Ugandan authorities. Those who traveled to Ethiopia sold their property including land, houses and vehicles to facilitate their movement and stay in Nyangatom.
