Nakuru based preacher whose church was raided by members of the public two weeks ago amid accusations of sodomy was Sunday arrested.
Prophet Peter K of the Christ Impact Church in Ruiru was accused of sodomy in a case reported to Nakuru police in 2022.
Nakuru East Deputy Sub-County Commander Sheila Kegode confirmed the arrest.
She said this was on the strength of a warrant issued.
An arrest order was issued on March 3, 2025 following an investigation by police over the claims.
Police said the suspect will be presented in court on Monday.
A victim reported the matter at the Central Police Station in Nakuru in May 2022. A medical examination report indicated that a physical examination of the complainant suggested blunt trauma to the anal region.
The preacher was arrested alongside an ally in Nairobi before being moved to Nakuru Police Station for processing.
According to the victim, the preacher lured him into drinking alcohol one night before preying on him to commit the indecent act.
At the time, the victim was a TukTuk driver in Nakuru and the preacher approached him to transport him to an event before offering to buy him drinks.
According to the victim, the accused convinced him to get into his car after managing to convince him to be his driver for a church function.
The driver alleged that at the time of the incident, he was in the company of the pastor in a vehicle.
The vehicle did not have back seats and after the drinking spree, he woke moments later to a sharp pain and it was when he realised he had been sodomized.
On March 2, hundreds of youth and members of the public stormed Peter K’s church in Ruiru over allegations of him sodomizing young boys.
Tens of members of the public gathered outside Christ Impact Church threatening to destroy the building if the pastor in question failed to appear.
They tore down the church with some declaring they did not want the pastor to remain in their community.
This forced police to intervene and save the situation.
