Ezekiel Odero: Kenyan Pastor Arrested Over Mass Killing Of His Church Members by politicoNG: 10:00pm On Apr 28, 2023
Kenya authorities said Thursday they had arrested another pastor over suspected deaths at his church as police widen an investigation following dozens of deaths linked to a cult leader.

Ezekiel Odero, the head of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church, was arrested in the coastal town of Malindi following “allegations of the deaths that have been occurring at his premises,” said Rhoda Onyancha, the government commissioner for the region.

“We have also taken action and closed the prayer centre going forward,” she told reporters, without elaborating further on the nature of the allegations against Odero or his church.

Police have not connected him to Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, the alleged cult leader under investigation for the deaths of 98 people linked to his church also based in the coastal region.

Odero, dressed in his signature all-white garb and clutching a Bible, was transferred from Malindi to the regional police headquarters in Mombasa for questioning.

A wealthy televangelist who draws huge crowds — his church south of Malindi can seat 40,000 — Odero claims that “holy” scraps of cloth sold at his mega-rallies can heal sickness.

The government has promised a crackdown on fringe denominations after the discovery of dozens of bodies in the last week on a property near Malindi belonging to Nthenge.

The self-styled preacher is accused of urging his followers to starve themselves to death as a path to God.

Most of those found in mass graves have been children, and police fear the death toll could rise as their search widens.

At least 22 people have been arrested over the gruesome saga so far.

Efforts to regulate Kenya’s dizzying array of churches and ministries have failed in the past, despite high-profile incidents of cults and rogue pastors being involved in crime.

Questions have emerged about how Nthenge was able to preach despite attracting police attention six years ago.

He was arrested in 2017 on charges of “radicalisation” after urging families not to send their children to school, saying education was not recognised by the Bible.

Nthenge was arrested again last month, according to local media, after two children starved to death in the custody of their parents.

He was released on bail of 100,000 Kenyan shillings ($700) but surrendered to police after a raid on his property uncovered bodies.

Nthenge is due to appear in court on May 2.

This pastor is a great man of God
He did a very good job
I really love what he did

He eradicated the stupid ones
Now kenya has less stupid humans in their population

I wish he can come to Nigeria and do the same thing. We will have less stupid humans amongst us.

A stupid human is very dangerous, they can put your life in danger, they can vote a monster as president. They can make very terrible decisions that will affect you and me

So the less stupid people we have, the better.
Nothing should happen to this man of God
Touch not my annointed, and do no harm

How are people so gullible?
Someone told you to starve yourself and the same person is eating daily.
Why didn't he first starve himself so that you can see him and follow in his footstep?

𝟮𝟬 𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 “𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗”

1. If you’re not doing as well as you’d like, all that means is there’s something you don’t know.

2. It’s not what we don’t know that prevents us from succeeding; it’s what we know that just ain’t so that is our greatest obstacle.

3. If you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking and being and adopt new ones.

4. I have a saying: “It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

5. The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill ’em!

6. These four quadrants are the physical world, the mental world, the emotional world, and the spiritual world.

7. A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.

8. Your financial blueprint consists primarily of the information or ‘programming’ you received in the past, and especially as a young child.

9. The first element of change is awareness. You can’t change something unless you know it exists.

10. The second element of change is understanding. By understanding where your ‘way of thinking’ originates, you can recognize that it has to come from outside you.

11. The third element of change is disassociation. Once you realize this way of thinking isn’t you, you can separate yourself from it and choose in the present whether to keep it or let it go—based on who you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow.

12. If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a nonsupportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to ‘prove’ yourself, your money will never bring you happiness.

13. Money can’t make you something you already are.

No thought lives in your head rent-free.

14. You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success.

15 . Your field of focus determines what you find in life.

16. If you want to get rich, focus on making, keeping, and investing your money. If you want to be poor, focus on spending your money.

17. Again, energy is contagious: either you affect people or infect people.

18. Resenting promotion is one of the greatest obstacles to success.

19. The size of the problem is never the issue—what matters is the size of you!

20. Living based in security is living based in fear.

Nawa o, if God knows what is being done with his name here on earth eh, I no sure say em go gree forgive ppl. But he is a merciful God that's why christians do rubbish these days, from self acclaimed men of god, down to the gullible members.

I have never heard these kind of shits going on in the house of God, in Islam. Fake pastors everywhere.

He told his members education is not recognized in the bible, and I know some (if not most) foolish members will agree to that. Now see the two kids that died out of starvation, now are we going to say it is the will of God or the fault of the stupid parents?

Na God go help us, especially the black race.
