Sister Tells of 'Heartbreak' Over Cult Member Accused of Starving... CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Exhumation of bodies of victims of cult leader, Paul McKenzie Nthenge, at the Shakhahola massacre scene in Kilifi.Malindi — When Roseline Asena's younger brother quit drinking after joining a Kenyan church run by now notorious cult leader Paul Nthenge Mackenzie, she hailed the self-proclaimed pastor for"saving" him from the clutches of alcoholism.
The 41-year-old is among 16 suspects accused of operating an armed -- and apparently well-fed --"enforcer gang" tasked with ensuring that no one broke their fast or left their forest hideout alive, investigators said, with more than 100 bodies already exhumed from mass graves in the bush. Other sermons preached against the use of mobile money, visits to medical facilities, vaccinations and women wearing wigs.
In 2019, when the preacher closed his church and asked his followers to come to the sleepy town of Shakahola, 700 kilometres from Vihiga, the father of five immediately complied."When he left, he was already crazy."In February, Asena's 63-year-old mother took a phone call from her son who told her he was on his way to"meet God" in Golgotha, the Biblical site outside Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified.
