The church members gathered at the church over the incident
A popular church in Kenya was on Thursday shut down by police for
allegedly condoning sexual activities in Kibwezi, Makueni County of
Kenya. The raid on the church was led by the Assistant County
Commissioner, Vitalis Ogur. The church is said to be operated by a
self-proclaimed ghost-buster.
The Standard reported that numerous complaints from locals that s*x
orgies involving school-going girls were happening at the church forced
police to carry out the raid.
“We have agreed that the church will remain closed until we
investigate the allegations levelled against the pastor and the church
officials. We will get to the bottom of the matter,” Ogur said.
Speaking on the issue, the Head of the Parents’ Association at a
local school, Mary Mutembei, revealed that a girl was impregnated by one
of the church officials causing her to drop out of school.
But, the pastor has denied the claims saying that he is being
persecuted because the locals were participating in sorcery and did not
like the style of his preaching.
“These allegations are baseless. They are falsehoods peddled by
traders who lead wayward lifestyles at the market and who have been
unable to stomach our style of preaching and exorcising demons,” he said.
The pastor also added that his ability to bust demons had earned him a lot of enemies in Kibwezi.
