Five members of the Peace of Trumpet Ministry, a religious sect based in northern Uganda, have been arrested on suspicion of sabotaging the ongoing national census, local media reported.

The suspects, who ranged in age from 19 to 30, reportedly rode around on bicycles convincing residents not to participate in the national census, claiming they would not end up on St. Peter’s lists, reasoning that such government programs are “satanic.”

On Friday, however, the quintet was detained by regional police and charged with public nuisance.
