I informed the Christians and our relatives and immediately started searching for him. We later came across his court, church books, bible and receipt abandoned at Nyakijumba along Kabale- Mbarara Road\u201d, Ninsiima said.<\/p>\n<p>Kigezi region police spokesperson Elly Maate revealed that they are handling a case of disappearance at Kabale Central Police Station.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn January 16 at around 0800hrs, complainant Niinsima was told that the motorcycle of the deceased was found abandoned at Rubira Village along Mbarara Road in Kabale and taken to the chairman LC2 by two good Samaritans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The cleric\u2019s body was seen floating on Saturday at around 2pm.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning, Maate told<b> <\/b>that no suspect had been arrested in connection to the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the incident, Kigata Church of Uganda Parish Priest Rev Sam Bahati condemned the apparent murder saying: \u201cIt is so sad that we preach the gospel of God yet there are others who have bad intentions for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAryanyijuka was a good, disciplined servant of God.
