A Kenyan Blogger is on the receiving end after striking at the controversial founder of Ministry of Repentance and Holiness Church Dr Prophet David Owuor, claiming that the man of God with the iconic long dreadlocked beard is a threat to national security.
Blogger Abraham Mutai, had previously questioned Prophet Owuor’s massive following and why he had state-like protection at his gatherings that are attended by thousands.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday he registered his growing alarm of the man of the cloth, tagging along Dr Fred Matiangi, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior & Coordination of National Government Kenya.
“Conman Dr Prophet Owuor is a threat to national security. On 19th May during his Uhuru Park meeting, he had over 1000 police officers and Army officers in civilian clothes, several commandos and police in Uniform. @FredMatiangi, this is a SERIOUS THREAT to NATIONAL security,” he posted.

The post has attracted different reactions from Kenyans online, among them Prophet Owuor’s apologists who felt the blogger was being a relentless alarmist and others who felt Mutai was raising a major concern.
The tweet registers yet another time the blogger had clashed with the man who claims to be the mightiest Prophet of God and popularly known for his swanky suits, stylish cars and large entourages.
One follower allegedly went to the length of inboxing him to let him know that he’s in danger for not believing in Prophet Owuor.
The blogger, however, declared that if anything was to happen to him then Prophet Owuor should be directly held responsible.
You fight with Prophet Dr. Owour would yield nothing.
It appears you fail to understand how systems work. Watch the space like a movie and you’ll realize that Dr. Owour like the Catholic Pope is guarded heavily than the president— Luopin (@ansteneth) May 21, 2019
During Dr Owuor’s Mega rally at the Central Park in Nairobi on Sunday, about 300,000 people who attended enjoyed maximum security from the lynx-eyed security detail of both civilian bodyguards and policemen who were armed to the teeth.
Here are some fiery reactions from Twitter:
Everyone to you is a conman, Don’t call men of God conman I think Mentally it may sound like you had a problem in childhood experience.
So Never call Men of God Commen, only if they have conned you, then you can have the Evidence & Odasity to do that if Not then Never Risk.— Mental Health Specialists (@CLINTONMentalH1) May 21, 2019
If a single person will be guarded by a whole barracks, then the poor kenyans are left with who? We should not lose our faith in God cuz He is the only one we are left with. Save this country Lord

How is that a threat to a national security, they are the government police officers, the police can’t work without the direction of the authority, if someone is hosting a big event he must have security, over 10m people can’t control by 2 officers. Funga mdomo. pic.twitter.com/EEnGkxyIht

Alarmist Mutai. The big crowd you saw at Central Park consisted of both Kenyan citizens and international guests. They deserved security of that nature. I thought you should know good brother.
