Pastor Ezekiel has been arrested following allegations of being connected to Paul Mackenzie in the Shakahola massacre.
On Thursday, April 27, Pastor Ezekiel Odero from New International Life Church in Kilifi was taken into custody by police on suspicion of being involved as an accomplice to Pastor Paul Mackenzie in the Shakahola massacre.
The Coast Regional Commissioner, Onyancha, has confirmed that Pastor Odero has been arrested and also stated that his church has been shut down as investigations take shape.
Furthermore, Onyancha confirmed that Pastor Odero is currently being interrogated by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Mombasa County. The Commissioner also mentioned that 22 suspects, believed to be accomplices of Mackenzie, have been arrested.
During his questioning by Kilifi detectives on Wednesday, the pastor refuted allegations of occult practices taking place at his church.
According to police officials, the decision to summon him was influenced by the ongoing exhumation of bodies from a farm located in the Shakahola Forest area.
The farm has been linked to Pastor Paul Mackenzie of the Good News International Church. As per official reports, nearly 95 bodies have been discovered in graves located within the forest.
