TRIBAL jealousies have landed a priest before a Uganda court, which is hearing evidence that the Rev William Oketa kidnapped his bishop.

Magistrates in the northern Ugandan town of Kitgum heard testimony last week that Mr Oketa locked the Bishop of Kitgum in his parish vestry on Jan 1, 2007, to prevent him from preaching in his parish church. Mr Oketa has denied the charge and has called upon Bishop Benjamin Ojwang (pictured) to resign.
