Kawala said
that when they reached Namayumba she told the driver to proceed up to
the point she would tell him to stop. She reportedly told the victims they were being taken to schools in Namayumba and Kakiri affiliated with the Born-Again community. However, upon reaching Namayumba, she instructed the driver to continue until she told him to stop.
It is alleged that she led the driver up to Kikooba Village
Bukomero Sub-county in Kiboga District where they arrived at about 2:00 am at Good Samaritan belonging to Apostle Mitala
Amon.
