Police on Monday arrested a self-proclaimed pastor in Chonyi, Kilifi County, with pieces of bones, brown stone-like substances, and suspected fetish items.
The police suspect the 'pastor' used the inanimate objects believed to have magical powers to recruit followers, especially women and children.
Kilifi County Criminal Investigation Officer (CCIO) David Siele said police arrested pastor Julius Kimutai Kipngeny, 51, and his accomplice Baraka Tsuma, 32.
He said the bones have been taken for forensic analysis to verify whether they are of human beings or not.
