The Facebook page Evangelist Ezekiel asks Kenyan social media users to reach out on WhatsApp for prayers. But when they do so, it asks them to send money as an “offering” first.
The page uses the photos of Ezekiel Odero, a popular Kenyan preacher who runs the New Life Prayer Centre and Church based in Kenya’s southern coastal city of Mombasa.
One of its posts, dated 7 March 2023, reads: “I PROPHESY to 10000 people reading this right now … in exactly 3 days you will get a MIRACLE phone call that will change your situation in Jesus name. If you believe, send me a message. I shall Pray for you one on one today.”
It then reaches out to those who comment on the post and asks them to request prayers through a WhatsApp number.
