Authorities in Nairobi have broken the silence after police officers hyped Prophet Owuor’s recent crusade in Nairobi in a video that went viral.
Members of the public were also surprised by the manner in which Owuor was guarded throughout the event.
Plain-clothed officers created a ring around Owuor as he made his entourage to the venue in a state of the art motorcade.

Police also created a buffer around the preacher’s alter with Kenyans carrying their sick and lame with the hope of receiving healing at the crusade.
Nairobi police commandant Joseph Ole Tito explained that there is nothing strange with Owuor having the security detail during his crusades.
“We anticipated many people would attend the crusade and that is why you saw those officers. We did not want to be blamed for security lapses,” stated Ole Tito, dismissing claims the GSU elite squad had been deployed to the event.
He also revealed that they had established that the men in black suits were former police and military officers who had been turned into the Repentance Ministries leader’s security detail.
It has also emerged that at least ten officers had been summoned to the police headquarters to explain why they had turned up to the event.
Prophet Edward Owuor is an evangelist whose meteoric rise cannot be missed having emerged at the opportune time the digital space was on the rise.
He rides on a number of FM stations that have been expanding their religious audiences growing his presence and followers on the airwaves and his televangelism is at its peak.
