Cult terror grows in Kenya
While investigating the “hunger cult”, Kenyan police raided another cult that urged its followers to live in the forest, removing 200 people from the forest.
According to The Daily Nation news, many people, including church leader Joyce Mkumbi, 23, were arrested in the raid on the Rainbow Church in the Kwale region on suspicion of kidnapping.
200 people living in the forest area, including 50 children, were removed from the area.
The church was reported to have encouraged people who were staying in makeshift camps and performing religious rituals to live here. It was also claimed that the priestess was uneducated and did not have an official diploma.
In Kenya, Good News International Church pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge starved his church people. He was told that he promised them to meet Jesus. The pastor of the New Life Church and Prayer Center, Ezekiel Odero, who was allegedly involved in other crimes after Nthenge’s arrest, was also detained.
The leaders of the “hunger cult” in Kenya, who sent their followers to their deaths fasting and killed 112 people, including children, are on trial on terrorism charges. (AA)
