According to reports from Kenya, a man that calls himself a living god in the country named 'Jehovah Wanyonyi' has died of malaria attack.
Jehovah Wanyonyi
Self-proclaimed living god, popularly called 'Jehovah Wanyonyi' in Kenya is dead according to a local farmer close to the deceased family. He died after suffering from malaria caused by mosquito bites.
His followers are currently praying hard for his ressurrection. The 98-year old spiritualist died on the 18th of July on his way to Cherangany Nursing Home in Kitale town; his close asssociate, Kipsomba chief Daniel Busienei told the Standard.
Wanyonyi and his followers
Busienei said the spiritual leader's children sought a burial permit on July 19, adding that the hospital required it before releasing the body. Assistant chief Paul Bett confirmed that he gave the family the burial permit a day after Wanyonyi's death.
On Sunday, Wanyonyi's followers, the Lost Israelites of Kenya, prayed for his return at his home in Nangili, Kakamega county. Some of them said they have been fasting since they learnt that he had gone missing.
“We believe in him and we want him back on the throne as soon as possible,” follower, Joyce Nakhanu said. Wanyonyi has not been seen in public for more than six weeks and his family is also anxiously waiting for him.
Family spokesman Eliab Masinde said he has been hospitalised in Nairobi, where his sons are taking care of him. Wanyonyi, who also has a follower in Uganda, developed back problems four years ago. He had been confined to a wheelchair at the home, where his followers say he has 70 wives, 500 children and more than 1,000 grandchildren.
He even says that he brought HIV/AIDS to earth as a punishment to humanity for defying his commandments. He once threatened the Kenyan government with a spell and demanded for a huge sum of money.
"If the Kenyan Government does not give me 3 billion shillings ($3.8m) I will bring a curse on Kenyans," he warned few months before he gave in to malaria
