Catholic nuns arrested for growing pot

THE Police in Masaka have arrested two nuns for allegedly participating in growing marijuana.

The two nuns, who had declined to reveal their identities to the Police, were picked from Bwanda Convent in Masaka district, where the Police found a banana plantation full of the illegal crop.

The New Vision later learnt that one of the nuns is Nanteza, while the other is Sister Rita.

The Masaka district Police commander, Titus Byaruhanga, also arrested two other men who were found attending to the plantation.

However, there was a scuffle when Sister Nanteza attacked the Police, accusing them of entering the convent without permission.
