Pastor Ezekiel Odero who was arrested over alleged links to Pastor Paul Mackenzie, was released last Thursday after spending a week behind bars. The DCI moved to court seeking to investigate Ezekiel’s bank accounts. Chief Inspector Martin Munene, told the Milimani Chief magistrate court that Pastor Ezekiel is suspected of money laundering arguing that deposit of sums of Money were made into his bank account. He claims the money is from the victims who were radicalized.
In an affidavit filed by DCI detective before Milimani Court, the office set to freeze the 15 bank accounts held at Cooperative Bank, NCBA bank, Equity Bank, KCB bank, HFC bank, Safaricom Kenya Limited Bank by Pastor Ezekiel, whom he allegedly says could be involved in the money laundering.
The file indicates that most of Pastor Ezekiel’s victims are missing and are suspected to have died mysteriously. Munene added that some of the bodies exhumed from Shakahola scene have missing body parts, suggesting the suspects were involved in human organs trade.
Ezekiel claims to be innocent, his lawyers blaming DCI taking the case to Nairobi when it is originally being handled in Mombasa Court. In his file, Pastor Ezekiel plea to the court to stop freezing his accounts and says he is falsely linked to Pastor Mackenzie
The number of bank account That Pastor Ezekiel owns have raised eyebrows of many giving an impression that he is absolutely a lucrative Kenyan. However, questions arise as to why his accounts contain dollars, Euro, Ugandan Shillings and Tanzanian shillings.
Just few days after Ezekiel’s release, the Azimio coalition leader Raila Odinga was spotted at Pastor Ezekiel Church, a situation which also raise more questions and ideally the reason why the government continues to investigate his link with the opposition leader.
