The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has asked for information that may lead to the arrest of a Kenyan pastor accused of taking advantage of young girls.
“If you have information and evidence relating to the same please send it to publiccomplaints@odpp.go.ke,” the ODPP tweeted.
A girl came out guns blazing with accusations about a pastor – Ken Gomeri – who allegedly tried to solicit her and her friends for sex three years ago.
“I’m going to do a thread of our (me and two of my friends) experience with Pastor Ken Gomeri,” the girl named Purity @NdutaSs said in a tweet on Saturday.
“Please note that I’m not trying to discredit him or get him arrested, I’m just coming out with this story because our silence may have enabled him to take advantage of more girls.”
According to Purity, she – alongside two other friends, then all between 18 and 19 years old – had gone to buy dinner at a popular mall on Thika Road in June 2016.
It is here that they bumped into Pastor Gomeri whom they recognised him because he previously frequented their high school to preach and coached their hockey team every so often.
After exchanging pleasantries, Gomeri allegedly offers to buy them dinner during which he spoke about “things that are being said about him online that are bothering him.”
“The first red light was on the same night, he called and asked to come over to our house at around midnight, but, it’s Pasi, we didn’t think much about it,” she said.
Purity added, “Next morning, we leave, so it’s Ken, his friend (man) and three of us girls, going to Nyeri in his infamous Subaru.”
She noted that on their way to Nyeri, his friend stopped to buy alcohol, which according to her was weird.
“…but it’s his friend who was drinking, not him, so, again, ignored the red light. We watched the tournament, went to have dinner at night, he offered to buy us alcohol too but we declined,” she said.
The lady then said they decided to spend the night in Nyeri as it was late.
