Pastor Ezekiel Odero Claims Miraculous Resurrection of Baby

Pastor Ezekiel Odero is at the center of an online debate after claiming he resurrected a baby who had reportedly died during a church service. A video from the service has gone viral, showing congregants celebrating what they believe to be a miraculous event following the pastor's prayer over the child.

In the video, Pastor Odero asserts that the baby was brought back to life, prompting ecstatic reactions from his followers. However, critics have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the child's condition, demanding independent medical evidence to confirm whether the baby had indeed been declared dead prior to the prayer. As of now, no official medical records or independent verification supporting the resurrection claim have been made public.

Pastor Ezekiel Odero, born in 1972 on Ngodhe Island, is a prominent Kenyan televangelist and the founder of the New Life Prayer Centre and Church in Kilifi County. He has gained national attention not only for his religious activities but also for his controversial legal troubles. In April 2023, he was arrested and charged with mass killings after over 100 bodies linked to his church were discovered, creating a significant scandal in Kenya.

Recently, the situation surrounding Pastor Odero has been tumultuous. In August 2023, the Registrar of Societies deregistered his church as part of efforts to regulate unscrupulous churches, a decision that was upheld by the Court of Appeal in September 2024. This ongoing scrutiny has placed Pastor Odero under a spotlight, with many questioning the legitimacy of his ministry and the safety of his practices. The recent resurrection claim adds another layer to the public discourse surrounding his controversial standing.
