Accused chaplain suspended by mission


From the UK

A KEELBY chaplain accused of immigration offences after allegedly marrying his wife twice has been suspended from his job at the port of Immingham.

Samuel Bisaso, originally from Uganda, had been working for the Mission To Seafarers as a chaplain for the Immingham Seafarers' Centre since 2006.

A spokesman for the Mission To Seafarers, a missionary society and charity which is part of the Anglican Church, confirmed that Bisaso had been suspended but declined to comment further.

Bisaso faces immigration charges and his wife, Proscovia Nakamya Bisaso, faces immigration and bigamy charges following their arrest by the UK Border Agency at their home in Victoria Road, Keelby.

The pair are due to appear at Grimsby Crown Court on October 16.


Samuel Bisaso, 43, is charged with: Signing a false declaration for procuring a marriage on September 1, 1998; having a false passport, on July 13 this year; and two counts of obtaining leave to remain in the UK by deception, by saying he was lawfully married, on June 20, 2001, and May 14, 2002.

Mrs Bisaso, 29, is alleged to have entered into a bigamous marriage of convenience in order to remain in Britain.

She has been charged with: Bigamy, on September 23, 1999, by, during the life of her husband, going through a form of marriage with Crispine Ateesa; signing a false declaration for procuring a marriage on September 1, 1998; obtaining leave to remain in the UK by deception, by saying she was Proscovia Kasozi, on June 10, 1997; and having a false passport on July 13 this year.
