Police report reveals details of sexual abuse of women and children by church elders and ushers in a Meru church

A daunting police report has revealed the unsettling details behind an arson incident at the East African Pentecostal churches of Kenya- Kianjai branch in Meru County.

According to the report, investigations have established that one Pastor Daniel Mururu has been allegedly coercing his female congregants to engage in sexual acts.

"The Pastor allegedly has been ordering stripping naked of women and girls, shaving their pubic hairs, sucking their breasts and having sex with the said women and girls in the church," read the report in part.

"The orders were being executed by the church elders and ushers."

Citing statements recorded by twenty-three witnesses, the report noted that a minor aged 17 had fallen prey to the pastor and is already five months pregnant.

"More than seven women aged between seventeen (17) years and seventy (70) years further alleges to have fallen victim to the Pastor and his church elders whereby they were indecently assaulted by sucking their breasts, shaving their pubic hairs and inserting fingers into their private parts," added the report.

Officers believe that the suspected pastor, together with church elders has been allegedly running a cult that has been manipulating their followers into engaging in heinous acts.

The church leaders are said to have threatened congregants with "sickness and barrenness in case they defy the Pastor's orders and prophesies."

 

Further investigations into the incidents are ongoing.

 

Officers have further dismissed earlier reports that the arson incident was as a result of a land dispute.
