12 Disciples Concerned As Authorities Summon Kenyan ‘Jesus’

In a crackdown on what it deems as rogue churches and extremist religious leaders, Kenyan authorities have summoned a controversial preacher styling himself as Jesus for questioning.

Eliud Wekesa, also known as “Jesus of Tongaren,” leads the New Jerusalem sect and has been called in by the police to address concerns regarding his unconventional religious teachings.

Claiming to be Jesus himself, Wekesa has garnered a following and named his 12 disciples after the 12 sons of biblical Jacob.

The preacher is expected to appear before the police in Bungoma county on Wednesday.

While Wekesa maintains that he has done nothing wrong and simply spreads the gospel, local media reports indicate that the government is taking these allegations seriously.

Authorities aim to investigate the nature of his teachings and determine if any legal actions need to be taken.

Meanwhile, in another disturbing case besides the case of the ‘Kenyan Jesus’ investigators in Kilifi county on the coast have made a shocking discovery.

They have exhumed 21 more bodies, bringing the total number of deaths in connection with a doomsday cult to 133.

The leader of the Good News International Church, Pastor Paul Mackenzie, is currently awaiting trial, accused of instructing his followers to starve themselves to death.

Also, hundreds of people have been reported missing in relation to this cult.

The seriousness of these incidents has prompted President William Ruto to establish a commission of inquiry to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

The commission will seek to shed light on the activities of these radical religious groups and bring those responsible to justice.

In yet another alarming case, the police in Kwale county rescued 200 individuals, including 50 children, from a forest.

The incident is suspected to be a religious kidnapping, further highlighting the need for authorities to address the growing concerns surrounding certain religious groups in the country.
