Pastor Ezekiel Recounts On His Arrest – It Was Tough

Televangelist pastor Ezekiel Odero has today expressed his thoughts about the period of his arrest.

This is the first time The New Life Christian Church pastor is talking about the incident that saw him detained for seven days in police custody. Ezekiel was released on May 4 on a KSh 3 million bond or KSh 1.5 million cash bail.

Speaking in Mavueni Kilifi county during the second service he is holding since his release, Odero revealed that he was worried because it was not his custom to miss Sunday services to minister to his congregants.

Odero further said his arrest was the toughest phase of his life, adding thay he was most worried that the whole complexity could potentially compromise his followers’ faiths.This is because during his detention, services had to be postponed.

“Siku ya leo huwa yangu na wanangu na huwa nawaita kila Jumapili kwa ajili ya kuwapa kile ambacho nilipewa na Yesu ndio maana siku ya Jumapili kwa ibada zote huwa tofauti. Tulikuwa na seven days ambazo hatukuwa na ibada. Zilikuwa siku ngumu kwangu kwa sababu sijawahi zoea kukaa bila ibada kuombea watu. Ilikuwa inanitatiza. Wasiwasi niliyokuwa nayo zaidi ilikuwa ni imani yenu,” he said.
