A pastor in Kiambu County's Ruiru constituency was arrested on Sunday by administration police officers for allegedly sodomising a 24-year-old man. The victim, Peter Mwangangi, had been sent to the pastor, Anthony Munywoki Mutua, by his parents so that the "man of God" could pray for him to get employment.
According to the Ruiru Constituency AP Commandant Hesborn Lusweti, the victim's parents parents are faithfuls at the pastor's Upendo Pentecostal Church in Kahawa Wendani. The parents had become concerned with fruitless efforts by their son to acquire a job and asked him to proceed to the "man of God" a week ago so that he could pray for him.
However on meeting with the pastor at his residential home in Kitambaya Estate in Ruiru, the young man was allegedly told by the pastor that he could not get employment because he was possessed with demons and that the only way the demons could exorcised from him was through sodomy.
The man had been given strict instructions by his parents to obey whatever the pastor told him and having that in mind, the man accepted the pastor's demands. After being sodomized thrice, the man was told by pastor to return home after he assured him that he will get a breakthrough in search for employment in a week's time.
However after seven days elapsed without getting him getting a job and his rectum still ailing from the injuries sustained during the unnatural act, Mwangangi decided to report the matter to the police.
According to Lusweti, the pastor was arrested following the report by the victim and on interrogation, Mutua admitted to having sodomized the young man.
Lusweti added that the suspect would be arraigned in court on Monday (today).
