**A man has turned himself in to Ugandan police and confessed to setting fire to five royal tombs of the traditional Buganda kings earlier this month.**The man claimed he was instructed to start the fire in a vision that said the tombs were “satanic”.
The Buganda kingdom has great social influence and the fire sparked riots during which security forces shot and killed three people.
The police say they are checking on the man’s mental health.
Buganda is the largest of Uganda’s four ancient kingdoms, none of which have any political power.
A dispute over territory between Buganda King Ronald Mutebi and President Yoweri Museveni led to mass riots in 2009.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
