Televangelist Ezekiel Odero of New Life Prayer Centre and Church has been arrested over the alleged indoctrination of the public.
He was arrested a day after he was grilled for hours over claims his church is also involved in occultism.
Coast Regional Commissioner Rhodah Onyancha said the pastor was arrested in Mavueni, Kilifi county.
She said this was because there were allegations of deaths reported on his premises.
She also closed the prayer centre.“He is being brought to Mombasa for grilling. More information will be availed,” she said.
He denied the claims before Kilifi detectives.
Police aware of the developments said the move to summon was prompted by the ongoing exhumation of bodies from Shakahola Forest in the area from a farm linked to pastor Paul Mackenzie of Good News International Church.
So far some 95 bodies have been recovered from graves in the forest, officials said.
