Man of God Prophet Owuor is a man under intense Pressure right now. Being a self proclaimed mightiest Prophet of the Lord and with a huge following coming his way courtesy of that, the latest controversies are certainly tainting his image, an image i believe took him years and ages to build.
The Prophet might have been embroiled in other controversies before but the latest one has surely blown up and even got the Directorate of Criminal Investigations involved.
Owuor is trapped in a legal battle with the family of Jayne Muthoni, a Lawyer who abandoned her legal practice to become Prophet Owuor’s Bishop.
He is accused of taking over the control of Mrs Muthoni’s multi-million properties through dubious means.
The family at the center of it all was apparently handed over to Mrs.Muthoni by the late George Saitoti. The two were close confidants with Mrs. Muthoni acting as Saitoti’s legal representative for some period of time.
The DCI has already moved to probe claims that self-proclaimed prophet Owuor illegally seized control of a Sh1.5 billion estate in Nairobi.
The probe came a day after the family of Jayne Muthoni, a fabulously rich woman-turned-pauper, claimed the prophet was irregularly controlling her multi-billion-shilling properties.
The family wants the DCI to investigate and unearth movement of Owuor’s money to establish funds were being wired from Muthoni’s accounts.
Yesterday saw Senior bishops of Owuor’s church recorded statements with the DCI.
On Monday the family lodged a formal complaint with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations against the prophet and his Repentance and Holiness Church
After the family reported the case, DCI officers on Monday evening visited Muthoni’s Dove Court Apartments on upscale Rhapta Road and the leafy suburb of Riverside Drive, Westlands.
Yesterday Prophet Owuor’s Repentance and Holiness church fought off claims that Jayne Muthoni was financing Owuor’s splendid ministry.
At least 12 bishops from the ministry convened a press conference in Nairobi and denied the claims as “sheer blackmail of the prophet and the church”.
“What we have witnessed are calculated efforts to blackmail and soil the name of the prophet,” Bishop George Kayla said.
Muthoni’s family wants the DCI to investigate claims that the ‘man of God’ has been irregularly pocketing millions generated from the woman’s estate against her will.
