The scandal involving Kisumu-based pastor Wyclif Okinyi has taken a new twist after the embattled preacher claimed his life is now in danger.
Okinyi, who recently trended on social media over allegations of betraying his longtime friend Pastor George Anyul by having an affair with his daughter, says he is now being hunted down.
Claims of Threats and Retaliation
Speaking to local reporters, Pastor Okinyi alleged that Pastor Anyul could not stomach the betrayal and had allegedly dispatched hired goons to “discipline” him.
“My life is in danger. I cannot move freely because I have been warned that people are out there looking for me,” he claimed.
