Televangelist Ezekiel Odero of Newlife Church ministries has appeared before the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) where he was grilled over his church’s activities in Mavueni, Kilifi County.

The televangelist’s activities  raised eyebrows after the horrific death of many people under indoctrination by Pastor Paul Mackenzie after it emerged that the estranged religious leader was teaching radical Christianity which advocated for intense fasting that has led to many deaths with an operation going on to exhume bodies of people believed to have dies as a result.

Pastor Ezekiel’s church is located on a 65 acre piece of land and it has also come under sharp criticism after reports emerged that a nearby morgue was collecting many dead bodies from Pastor Ezekiel’s church.

Police also visited Milele Funeral Home in Mavueni, Kilifi County, the morgue near Pastor Ezekiel’s church, and interrogated the management on critical issues centred around alleged cultic operations at the Coast.

Milele Funeral Home CEO, Johnson Amani Kea, stated that they responded to police queries on the number of dead bodies the morgue collected from Pastor Ezekiel’s church

On Tuesday, April 25, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki confirmed that police officers were investigating other flamboyant preachers whose teachings appeared contrary to what the Law advocates for.

“We have opened an inquiry into another preacher based here in Kilifi, and we are getting crucial leads that will soon help us make logical conclusions.

“Any faith that kills people or engages in criminal activities in the name of religion must be stopped, and this is the time to stop these charlatans,” Kindiki assured.
