Popular televangelist Ezekiel Odero is not new to controversy. The Pastor made headlines after being arrested on Friday 27 for the alleged deaths of members of his church.
According to the Coast Regional commander Rhodha Onyancha, Pastor Ezekiel was accused of concealing bodies in his church and secretly burying them at Pastor Mackenzie’s farm at Shakahola. His church, The New Life International Church located on the country’s Indian Ocean coast was also closed down.
According to the police and morgue attendants, they have been collecting bodies at the church premises in Kilifi County. This move comes with the wake of investigations into a religious cult linked to the deaths of more than 100 people.

The church is located at the heart of Mavueni, the Southern part of Kilifi town. It is approximately 58 kilometers from Mombasa. What welcomes you when you first enter the compound is the long distance from the entrance of the prayer center about a kilometer from its actual location.
The 1km road to the actual prayer center has flags of different countries anchored along the way with floodlights in between.
As you enter the gate, just as the norm in any serious institution, there is a barrier where bags are thoroughly checked. From a look around, the House of Prayer is not complete with some structures still under construction.
The church is a three-story building that is also where guests spend the night. The compound is large and had ample parking to accommodate visitors arriving in both personal cars and public buses. There is also a white building with a red roof which is the office of the church’s officials. A rehabilitation center, helipad, and cottages are still under construction.

What caught people’s attention was his choice of style when he was arrested. Pastor Ezekiel was dressed in a visibly expensive suit. He arrived at the police station driving a white Lexus LX570 which is estimated at Ksh17 million. His house is also worth Ksh1 billion.
The Pastor once filled Kasarani Stadium to its capacity and beyond. He has overseen various Sunday sermons, attracting an estimated crowd of more than 50,000 people in any function. Many people had come to listen to him including Dorcas Gachagua, the wife of the Deputy President of Kenya Rigathi Gachagua.
Pastor Ezekiel wife
He has been married to his wife Sarah for more than 13 years. His wife recently responded to his husband’s charges, urging church members to pray.
“I am here to tell you that we will not have prayer services at this church because it is good that we give the government enough time to investigate the ongoing issues besieging churches that have been reported on social media and the news. But it is not only about New Life Church but many other churches. I urge those on social media to continue praying hard,” she stated in a video shared on their official Youtube account.
