Kenya on Thursday said that one of the country's highest-profile pastors would face charges over the 'mass killing of his followers' just days after the discovery of dozens of bodies linked to another church.
Kindly share this story:
“The said church has been shut down. The over 100 people who were holed up at the premises have been evacuated and will be required to record statements,” he added. Odero, dressed in his signature all-white garb and clutching a Bible, was transferred from the coastal town of Malindi where his church is headquartered to the regional police headquarters in Mombasa for questioning.
Kindiki had described the case as “the clearest abuse of the constitutionally enshrined human right to freedom of worship.”
