Kenyan Authorities Find Over 100 Bodies On Property Of Cult Leader Who Told Followers To Starve To Death

Kenyan President William Ruto discussed the cult during a speech at a graduation ceremony, comparing the pastor’s actions to the work of terrorists and vowing to address religious extremism.
“Terrorists use religion to promote their heinous acts,”Ruto said. “People like Mr Mackenzie use religion to do exactly the same thing.”
Ruto’s reaction to the danger of extremism might be even more warranted than he realized.
On Thursday, Kenyan authorities announced a different religious leader, Ezekiel Odero of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church, had been arrested after another mass death incident. So far, there is no news on whether the two cases are related. However, with the death toll in Malindi climbing and word of this second mass casualty event, Kenya seems poised to crack down on religious extremism.
