The number of bodies exhumed in the Shakahola forest in Kenya has risen to 251 after 9 more bodies were found on Tuesday following the resumption of the exhumations.
Coast Regional Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha said that the number of rescues remains 95 and arrests 35, reported <a href="https://ntvkenya.co.ke/news/shakahola-horror-nine-more-bodies-exhumed-death-toll-at-251/">NTV</a>.
At least 93 bodies have undergone DNA tests.
Only 19 bodies have been identified by family members as 613 people were reported to be missing.
The Shakahola massacre is linked to <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Paul_Mackenzie_(Kenya_Cult_Pastor)">Pastor Paul Mackenzie</a>, a Kenyan religious leader who allegedly led what is now referred to as the Kenyan starvation cult.
Mackenzie allegedly convinced more than 200 followers to fast themselves to death, believing that they would have a chance to get to heaven before the end of the world.
He founded and leads the Good News International Church which later relocated to Malindi, a coastal town in Kenya near a forest called Shakahola in Kilifi county where he has a farm.
Mackenzie used the farm as the burial ground for his followers who starved themselves to death under his orders, hence the Shakahola Forest Massacre.

Kenya: Shakahola Massacre Death Toll Rises To 251

Kenyan authorities have imposed a 30-day dusk-to-dawn curfew on the 320-hectare ranch owned by a pastor who is accused of directing his followers to fast to death.
The ranch, which is near the town of Malindi, has been declared a “disturbed area and an operation zone.”
The country’s interior minister announced on Wednesday that for 30 days, the area will be subjected to a curfew between 6 PM to 6 AM.
However, human rights activists and journalists have criticised the move to bar them from accessing the ranch.
As of Thursday evening, the death toll in the cult investigation stood at 95.
On Wednesday, police took 22 people into custody during the search and rescue operation on the land.
Authorities have rescued 34 people from the property, while the Kenya Red Cross Society said that 314 people were still missing.
The owner of the ranch, pastor Paul Mackenzie, is set to remain in police custody until at least 2 May.
The director of public prosecutions, Noordin Haji, on Wednesday, ordered investigating officers to identify the assets of the suspects for purposes of preservation, confiscation, and forfeiture.
Meanwhile, a famous self-proclaimed televangelist Ezekiel Ombok Odero of the New Life Prayer Centre was arrested on Thursday on allegations of killing his followers.

Kenyan Officials Impose Curfew On Cult Leader's Ranch

A prominent Kenyan evangelist, Pastor Ezekiel Odero, has been arrested and his church located on the coast has been shut down.
Kenyan police are currently conducting investigations into a religious sect led by another preacher, Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, that has been linked to the death of almost a hundred people due to starvation.
Odero was arrested on Thursday hours after the police inspected a funeral home near his New Life Prayer Centre church in Mavueni, Kilifi county, reported <a href="https://www.africanews.com/2023/04/27/another-kenyan-pastor-arrested-amid-probe-into-cult-like-deaths/">africanews</a>.
Police said that they had established that morgue attendants had been collecting bodies at the church premises.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Coast regional commissioner Rhoda Onyancha said:
<blockquote>
This morning we arrested Pastor Ezekiel Odero on allegations of the deaths that have been occurring at his premises.
</blockquote>
Odero preacher has not responded to the allegations.
Police are also investigating Odero’s alleged relationship with Nthenge, who is said to have told followers to starve themselves in order to “meet Jesus”.
By Wednesday, 26 April, Kenyan authorities had recovered 95 bodies of people suspected to have died of starvation and buried in shallow graves at Mackenzie Nthenge’s farm.
Nthenge, who is already in custody, has denied wrongdoing. He is due in court on 02 May.
According to <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/death-toll-hits-95-as-8-more-childrens-bodies-exhumed-from-kenyan-cult-leaders-homestead/2882332#">Anadolu Agency</a>, the rise of cult-like churches in Kenya has become a growing concern with some leaders using extreme teachings that put their followers’ lives at risk.

Another Kenyan Pastor Arrested Amid Investigations Into Starvation Deaths

Since last week, police in Kenya have exhumed 95 bodies of people believed to have starved to death, from shallow graves.
The deaths have been linked to Pastor Paul Mackenzie, a controversial preacher at Good News International Church who is accused of brainwashing his followers and leading them to their deaths..
Police say, Mackenzie, a televangelist, indoctrinated his followers, asking them to abandon “earthly life”.
<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/25/why-did-73-kenya-cult-members-starve-to-death">Al Jazeera</a> reported that the controversial preacher asked his followers to meet at his 325-hectare (800-acre) farm in a village called Shakahola in Kilifi county for a fast “to meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie allegedly instructed his followers to quit their jobs, drop out of formal schools, stop feeding on “worldly food”, and not seek medical treatment in hospitals when sick.
The church members met on Saturdays under a tree from 9 AM to 5 PM for “life lessons”.
He allegedly told them that the fast would count only if they gathered together, and offered them his farm as a fasting venue.
Mackenzie also ordered his followers to destroy all documents given by the government, including national IDs and birth certificates.
On 13 April this year, the Kenyan government intervened after two children were reported to have starved and suffocated to death by their parents on Mackenzie’s advice on March 16 and 17.
Investigations by the police led them to Shakahola where 16 emaciated people were found, four of whom died before reaching the hospital.
At least 27 people were rescued and admitted to the hospital for severe malnutrition but some of them are still refusing to eat.
The followers say they were told to starve to avoid going to hell.
Residents said about 300 people lived on the Shakahola farm.
Coastal Area regional boss Rhoda Onyancha told reporters on Wednesday that a 30-day curfew had been imposed in the area. <a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/death-toll-hits-95-as-8-more-childrens-bodies-exhumed-from-kenyan-cult-leaders-homestead/2882332#">She said:</a>
<blockquote>
The total number of those who have lost their lives is 95, and because this is an area where we are going on with arrests also, so far we have 22 in custody. Nobody is allowed to go inside.
</blockquote>
President William Ruto on Monday said the cult leader belongs in prison as “what is being witnessed in Shakahola is akin to terrorism”.
Anthony Muheria, the archbishop of Nyeri Catholic Archdiocese in central Kenya, said:
<blockquote>
Religion cannot be and should not be the cause of people losing lives through radical extremism that people have to do exceptional things to gain blessings from God.
</blockquote>
Mackenzie surrendered to the police on 14 April and is still in custody pending investigations.
Mackenzie was arrested in 2017 on charges of “radicalisation” after urging children not to attend school because education was not recognised by the Bible.
Two years later, he closed the church and moved to the coastal town of Shakahola.
He was arrested again in March this year after two children starved to death in the custody of their parents.
Mackenzie was released on bail of 100 000 Kenyan shillings ($700) and told local media he was “shocked about the accusations”.
But less than three weeks later, a police raid in a forest near the coastal town of Malindi led investigators to exhume the woodland for mass graves.

Kenyan Cult Leader Instructed Followers To Starve Themselves To Meet Jesus

Hunger has pushed elderly people including grannies into gold panning in Silobela District in the Midlands Province.
This was said by the Zibagwe Rural District councillor for Ward 29, Willard Moyo.
Moyo told <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/grannies-turn-to-gold-panning-as-hunger-stalks-silobela/">The Mirror</a> that villagers have no option but to sell the few cattle that they have in order to buy food while schools’ feeding programmes have ceased.
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that used to provide food handouts in most rural parts have reportedly withdrawn due to an unfavourable political environment and government policies.
Moyo urged the Government to bring back school feeding schemes claiming school kids are starving. He said:
<blockquote>
Most of the people in my ward including women have resorted to gold panning along the banks of the Gweru River.
The challenge is that Social Welfare food programs that traditionally give food to the less privileged have reduced the number of beneficiaries. We were told that the Government’s budget is limited.
We also used to receive food handouts from donors like the World Food Programme (WFP).
We appeal to the Government to increase the number of beneficiaries in social welfare schemes and to bring back school feeding programs before we die of hunger.
</blockquote>
