Court Clears Bishop Gilbert Deya of Stealing Babies
A court in Nairobi has cleared controversial televangelist, Bishop Gilbert Deya, of child trafficking following prosection’s failure to build a strong case.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Robison Ondieki ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the case after lacking substantial evidence to incriminate Deya.
Deya was charged with five counts of stealing children below 14 years, between 2002 and 2004, at Mountain View estate in Nairobi.
In order to secure his freedom, Deya’s lawyer, John Swaka, revealed that the prosecution’s case was marred with inconsistent evidence – which could not mount a strong conviction.
