Drama as pastors exchange blows over sadaka

Mutuku

Nthongoni market residents in Kibwezi East constituency witnessed drama after two pastors fought over offering and preaching space.

Edwin Mutuku of Upper Room Holiness Church and Ken Junior, a self-proclaimed prophet of Kibwezi attacked each other before the congregation.

Be that as it may Mutuku denied the allegations, guaranteeing that it is Junior who attacked his ‘people’.

“I was deep in prayers praying for people to be saved before he stormed our crusade. In the process, my mobile phone and anointing oil was stolen”, said Mutuku

Mutuku, who had led seven-day campaign and was holding prayers during the last day, blamed Junior for being a conman and assaulting “genuine” priests.

“He is masquerading as a pastor. He has been making false prophesies and he was rejected in this town. He makes fake anointing oil,” Mutuku said.

He said he reported the incident to Mtito Andei police station, but claimed investigations were still ongoing.

Prophet Ken Junior on the other hand brushed off Mutuku’s allegations, pointing out that he was just an attention seeker.

“Mutuku used to be my follower until recently when he detached himself and other residents who have been organising crusades in Makueni to swindle money from unsuspecting residents,” he said.

“I have been against their “Kupanda Mbegu” Gospel. He is just angry,” he added.

Junior further claimed that Mutuku was organising crusades through his name since he has more followers.

“Thanks to my radio programmes, I have become famous and they are now organising crusades using my name, which is wrong,” he noted.

He also went ahead and linked his opponent (Mutuku) to his woes saying he has taken a lot of money from people using his name in pretext of serving under his Ministry.
