St Peter’s Naalya Church is facing public scrutiny after several political candidates reported being forcibly removed from the church’s premises at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday night. The candidates, who were staying overnight as part of a community outreach program, claim security personnel entered the sanctuary without warning, citing a “private event” that required the space to be cleared. Church spokesperson Rev. Michael Kato denied any wrongdoing, stating that the eviction was a “miscommunication” related to a scheduled maintenance drill. Human rights groups have called for an independent investigation, while the church’s board has promised to review its policies on political activities on its grounds.
