Pastor Ezekiel’s custodial file is closed

Pastor Ezekiel has been under investigation over the controversial Shakahola killings and other issues but has not been formally charged.

On Tuesday, October 31, a court in Shanzu, Mombasa county, closed Pastor Ezekiel’s custodial file.

This was just days after a Senate ad hoc committee probed and vindicated the protégé of renowned preacher Pastor Pius Muiru.

In a statement to the public, ODPP’s Public Affairs and Corporate Communications Division denied that the investigation file against Ezekiel was closed.

It reiterated that it was still evaluating the investigators’ findings and would prefer relevant charges that meet the threshold.
