Pastor Ezekiel wants probe on his TV station stopped

Embattled televangelist Pastor Ezekiel Odero has asked a Mombasa court to close a case he presented before the task force probing the closure of his church’s television station.

Through his lawyers Danstan Omari and Cliff Obeta, Odero argues the panel does not have enough quorum to deliberate on the matter and thus the court’s directive wanting them to take the case before the taskforce has not been handled properly.

But the committee has dismissed the pastor’s allegations and said the matter is still being probed.

Pastor Odero appeared before the DCI offices in Mombasa, his third time since a court released and directed him to appear before the detectives every Monday. He however claims he was not grilled or required to record statements.

The case before Justice Olga Sewe will be mentioned on June 14.

Pastor Odero is being investigated over alleged money laundering and economic crimes.
