The officer in charge of Shimo la Tewa Maximum Prison, Abdi Willy Adan, has addressed reports that controversial pastor Paul Mackenzie's life was in danger, amidst claims there was a plot to poison him. While appearing before Tononoka Children's Court Principal Magistrate Nelly Chepchirchir, Adan dismissed the claims as unfounded, telling the court that all security measures at the facility are intact.
Mackenzie had told the court that suspicious substances had been planted in his prison cell to harm him, alleging that the end goal was to poison him.
The preacher claimed that he had found fragments of broken glass around where he eats, and a whitish substance around the neck of his water bottle, alleging an assassination attempt.
