In 2015, Makula was with a guy she wanted to break up with, so she thought about asking God for help.
"On the night of July 4, 2015, I went to pray to God to free me from a man I loved but couldn't let go of. That was the first time I was on my own "She said this during Pastor Bugingo's Sunday Service at House of Prayer Ministries International.
"I had a lot of problems, so I took the police bond to the pastor. Before I worked at Salt FM, my boyfriend liked another girl who worked in the same office as me."Makula says that the girl stole her phone, but since it was cheap, she didn't bother to look for it.
"But I learned that you should tell the police if you lose your phone, even if you don't want to get it back," she said.The girl put in a new SIM card and started sending Makula's boyfriend death threats.Makula's boyfriend told the police that someone was trying to kill him and filed a report.
When the police came to arrest Susan Makula, she had just left her old job to go work at Salt Media. Bugingo owns Salt Media, where she has worked as a TV and radio host."They took me to Kibuli, which is the headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), and charged me with threatening to kill someone. They showed me that the threats were coming from my phone, which she had lost "she told me. She couldn't prove that her phone had been stolen, but it was a good thing she had told her old coworkers.
"They moved me from Kibuli to Kampala's Central Police Station (CPS)."
