Televangelist “Dr” David Kariuki Ngare, alias Gakuyo has surrendered to the police.
Gakuyo, in the company of his lawyer Danstan Omari and six other Ekeza Sacco officials, appeared at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters Thursday.
He checked in at the DCI offices at around 1.30 p.m. accompanied by a team of six lawyers led by Dunstan Omari, and spent slightly over an hour. He did not speak to the media.
Mr Omari said the preacher presented himself after word went round that police were pursuing him over troubles at Ekeza.
“There was word going round that the bishop (Gakuyo) has gone into hiding and that the DCI was looking for him. As his lawyers, we presented him (so that) if there is a complaint against him, he will clarify. The DCI has confirmed that there is no complaint has been lodged against our client,” Mr Omari told reporters outside the DCI headquarters.
“Five minutes before arrived at the office of the DCI, a complaint document came from the Ministry of Trade which had not even been read…the DCI will look at it.”
