Sunday, March 16, 2025 - Police in Nakuru have arrested a preacher who had been on the run after being accused of preying on his fellow men, a matter that had sparked public outrage and led to a violent raid on his church earlier this month.
Prophet Peter K of Christ Impact Church was tracked down in
Nairobi alongside an associate, James Kangethe, before being transferred to
Nakuru Police Station for processing.
Nakuru East Deputy Sub-County Commander, Sheila Kegode,
confirmed that the arrest followed a warrant issued on March 3rd,
2025, after investigators reviewed the evidence linked to the allegations that
first surfaced in 2022.
According to police reports, the preacher had been accused of taking advantage of a TukTuk driver in Nakuru in an incident that was reported at the Central Police Station in May 2022.
The complainant told police that Peter K had approached him
under the guise of hiring his transport services before persuading him to
accompany him for drinks.
The victim recalled that after consuming alcohol, the
preacher convinced him to get into his vehicle, which had no back seats.
He alleged that he later woke up to sharp pain and realised
that the prophet had done the unthinkable to him.
A subsequent medical examination report indicated that the
victim had suffered injuries after the rogue prophet drugged him and took
advantage of him.
Despite the complaint being filed, law enforcement officers
failed to apprehend the preacher, leading to frustration of the victim and his
family.
The case remained dormant for months, with the suspect continuing to operate his church in Ruiru.
Public anger over the allegations intensified on March 2nd,
when hundreds of youth and residents stormed Christ Impact Church, demanding
that the preacher be held accountable.
The enraged crowd accused him of preying on young boys and
threatened to destroy the church building if he did not appear.
With his arrest now confirmed, the preacher is expected to
be arraigned in court on Monday.
Police say investigations are ongoing, and additional
charges may be brought against him.
