The three priests are Fr Gasper Agwokotho,  Fr George Odokwun, and Fr Gabriel Okwong who are all attached to the Orussi parish, Parombo Parish and Ofaka sub-parish.

The Bishop of Nebbi Catholic Diocese the Right Reverend Lino Sanctus Wanok in a telephone interview with Uganda Picks explained that priests allegedly decided to stay at home without seeking for permission from the church.
