Yesu Wa Tongaren To Be Detained For 4 Days

Bungoma-based preacher claiming to be the ‘real Jesus Christ’ Eliud Wekesa has been detained for 4 days to allow police to continue with investigations.

Wekesa was arraigned before Bungoma Principal Magistrate Tom Mark Olando a day after he presented himself to police after being summoned for questioning over alleged questionable religious teachings.

In court, the prosecution obtained a warrant to conduct a search on the controversial preacher’s premises. The prosecution told the court that Wekesa’s home is believed to be a crime scene that needs to be searched and relevant materials retrieved and preserved.

According to a supporting affidavit submitted by Investigating Officer Elijah Acharia, ‘Yesu Wa Tongaren’ is facing charges including radicalisation, money laundering, acquisition, possession or use of proceeds of crime and managing an unlawful society.

Yesu wa Tongaren was among the numerous highlighted pastors who have been doing peculiar things in the name of Christianity.
