Do you remember when Prophet David Owuor baptised AU High Envoy Raila Odinga back in 2009?
The duo made headlines with the man of God apparently helping a then disturbed Raila Odinga to join the ways of the Lord.
Raila was just from an election where he was rigged out by Mwai Kibaki but luckily enough for him and with help from the late Kofi Anan, he managed to bag a Prime Minister Position.
Well, the Raila-Kibaki story is well known by most of us. Now back to Prophet Owuor, the self proclaimed Mightiest Prophet of the Lord.
If you thought that Owuor is as white as snow, then you probably have the correct facts about this Prophet of Doom.
A Family is on the neck of the Prophet as it seeks to regain control of it’s properties apparently taken from them by the man of God through dubious means.
Owuor is in a fight with a family over the control of a Sh1.5 billion property in Westlands, Nairobi.
Owuor and his Ministry is accused of forcefully seizing the multi-storeyed apartments along upscale Rhapta Road in Westlands and the leafy suburb of Riverside Drive.
Relatives of a woman claiming ownership of the property said the prophet had dispossessed her through an elaborate scheme initiated in 2005.
They accused the controversial prophet of continuing to pocket millions of shillings in monthly rent from the upscale apartments in what could lift the lid on the financing of Owuor’s flashy ministry.
At the heart of the dispute is a claim that the prophet and senior bishops in his church coerced the woman, identified as Jayne Muthoni, to appoint Owuor’s follower, Lilly Njage, as a co-director in Shaba Investment Limited, the registered owner of the flats.
To wrest the control of the multi-million-shilling property from Owuor, Muthoni’s relatives alleged that their relative was not of sound mind when she authorised Njage to manage her property.
They claimed the woman had been brainwashed and placed under the influence of unidentified drugs that could have caused memory loss.
“We want my sister’s property taken back to her. They forced her to appoint a co-director so that they can take control of the company. They have stolen from her. There is one transaction which I saw and more than Sh700 million was withdrawn from her bank account,” Muthoni’s brother Duncan Njagi said yesterday
Njagi, who led other family members in storming the building to reclaim ownership, alleged that Owuor also moved into their sister’s palatial home along Riverside Drive and turned it into his private office and nerve centre for his church operations.
The home compound contains a swimming pool in which Owuor ‘dipped’ Raila in 2009. It is claimed that the Riverside home was at one point owned by former Internal Security minister Geoge Saitoti.
