According to police, the faithful from Legio Maria Church in Usenge were arrested following a tip-off by members of the public. Speaking to Standard Digital, Bondo sub-county police boss Anthony Wafula said that his officers managed to round them up as they were conducting church service against the government directive that bans all public gatherings. "Those who were arrested were taken to Usenge Police Station before being released on free bond," said Wafula.
