Chilling Cult Tactics: How Makenzi Exploited WhatsApp After Church Closure
A series of exclusive text messages obtained by the Sunday Standard has provided an unprecedented glimpse into the controversial life of preacher Paul Nthenge Makenzi. These communications offer a "sneak preview" of the existence led by one of Kenya’s most talked-about religious figures, whose activities have drawn significant public scrutiny.
The messages, which largely consist of exchanges between Makenzi and his followers, along with some of his personal replies, have been recently presented as evidence in court. They form part of the legal proceedings against Makenzi, who is currently facing charges related to the harrowing Shakahola massacre case. The tabling of these texts in a legal setting underscores their importance in understanding the dynamics and influence within Makenzi's group and his interactions with adherents.
