This is after being reports by members of the public who were concerned of the kind of activities thay were going on in that church.
The police report read,”Security teams established that there were children residing in the center as well as other persons of various age categories and that the major concern was the practice which had led the members to abandon their homes, their jobs and their livelihoods to come and stay together so as to conduct prayers and spread their newfound gospel.”
The major issue was that the faithful including children, were compelled to leave their homes, and join in the worship of this church.
The report read,”Children were observed to leave school or interrupt classes so as to conduct prayers six times a day (3 times in the day and 3 times in the night) with strict adherence to this routine.”
“She managed to convince the whole congregation through the so called revelations from God and guided that they should abandon their livelihoods and congregate,” detectives added.
It was established that a section of individuals from Taita Taveta, in April 2023 travelled to join the evangelism they suspected was radicalisation.
The report read,”Preliminary findings showed that both adults and children conducted all their services together, and they only pursued lessons in end-time prophesy.”
They stay together, cook together and sleep at the centre – all females of mixed ages sleep together in one mud house at one side of the centre, sharing beddings. At the same time, all males of mixed ages slept together in another mud house on the other side of the center sharing beddings as well.”
“The center holds children (children sleep within the center) even though they are not a lawfully constituted Charitable Children Institution (CCI) with a framework on how children should be cared for in institutions,”read part of the report.
