Televangelist pastor Ezekiel Odero has today received a huge relief from the court orders concerning the Shakahola massacre which left hundreds of people dead as a result of cultism.
Pastor Ezekiel Odero was allegedly linked to be in connection with controversial pastor Paul Mackenzie who is the main suspect but investigations have proved that there is no concrete evidence to charge him.
The court has closed a case file on Pastor Ezekiel Odero of New Life Prayer Centre and Church and ordered Sh1.5m cash bail be returned to him.
The Shakahola Massacre sent shockwaves through the community, as it was an incident that tested the boundaries of faith and justice.
He was initially arrested and charged in connection with the tragic events.
However, as the trial unfolded, new evidence emerged, casting doubt on his involvement.
The courtroom drama that unfolded was reminiscent of a gripping legal thriller. Witnesses gave conflicting testimonies, and investigators unearthed previously undisclosed facts that raised questions about the pastor’s culpability.
The court diligently scrutinized all the evidence, and it became clear that there was insufficient proof to link Pastor Odero to the massacre.
In a remarkable display of justice, the court took the bold step of acquitting Pastor Ezekiel Odero and returning the substantial cash bail that had been deposited during his arrest. This verdict not only exonerates the pastor but also underscores the importance of a fair and thorough legal process.
