Danstan Omari Sues Kimani Ichungwah; Uhuru Family Suffers Big Blow After Storming Jubilee Party Headquarters & Father of Mackenzie’s right-hand man says Son Should be Jailed if He Doesn’t Denounce Shakahola cult

Good morning,

The arrest of controversial Pastor Ezekiel Odero of the New life Prayer Centre and Church has left several high profile personalities who have previously graced his well-attended crusades in an awkward position.

Information has also emerged about his links to Paul Nthenge Mackenzie of Shakahola deaths.

The influential Kilifi-based Pastor Ezekiel, as he is commonly known, was arrested yesterday over reports of “mass killings of his followers” at his New life Prayer Centre and Church at Mavueni area.

Detectives also believe Ezekiel conspired with Mackenzie to have bodies of some of the faithful who died in his church, secretly buried at Shakakhola.

This was after he reportedly fell out with Milele funeral home in Mavueni over storage and preservation fees.

After his arrest, Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki said the cleric will face charges linked to alleged mass killing of his followers.

The CS disclosed that Ezekiel’s church had been shut down and that the over 100 people who were at the premises had been “evacuated and will be required to record statements.”

Detectives handling the case said Pastor Ezekiel is linked to indoctrination of the public in relation to his colleague, Pastor Mackenzie, the owner of Shakahola farm in Kilifi where over 100 bodies of his followers believed to have starved to death were recovered.

His arrest and arraignment today raises questions on whether some public figures who have attended his crusades across the country knew the goings-on in the church.

The Kenyatta family has been dealt a big blow by the National Treasury after it cancelled the 2019 tax exemption it extended to the family-owned Commercial Bank of Africa during its merger with NIC.
