In a strongly worded public statement, Ahmednasir said that in any truly civilised country where the rule of law is applied without fear or favour, Prophet Owuor would already be behind bars serving numerous life sentences.
The senior counsel accused authorities of shielding powerful religious figures from scrutiny, insisting that charisma, influence, or massive followings should never place anyone above the law, regardless of their perceived spiritual standing.
Ahmednasir went further to state that maximum security prisons such as Kamiti or Naivasha would be the appropriate facilities for Owuor, should the allegations and public claims linked to his ministry be subjected to rigorous legal examination.
While he did not detail specific charges, the outspoken lawyer suggested that repeated controversial declarations attributed to the preacher have misled the public, caused emotional harm, and undermined rational discourse in matters of health, faith, and governance.
The remarks have reignited long-standing divisions among Kenyans, with critics accusing Prophet Owuor of exploiting faith for personal power, while loyal followers continue to defend him as a genuine man of God persecuted for his beliefs.
Ahmednasir’s comments come amid growing scrutiny of faith-based movements in Kenya, especially following recent warnings by medical and regulatory bodies against claims of miraculous healing without scientific or medical backing.
Legal experts say the debate highlights a broader challenge in Kenya, where religious freedom often clashes with accountability, making it difficult for the state to intervene without appearing to infringe on constitutional rights.
So far, Prophet Owuor has not publicly responded to Ahmednasir’s demands, and no official statement has been issued by law enforcement agencies regarding possible investigations or arrests.
