Tragedy strikes as controversial African pastor, Gilbert Deya, passes away in Kenya.
According to reports, the clergyman lost his life in a road incident that occurred on June 17, 2025, near Kisumu town in western Kenya, involving a collision between his Toyota Noah vehicle and a Moi University school bus.
According to a recent report, at least 30 people were injured, including Deya’s wife, who was a passenger in his vehicle.
Notably, Deya was a controversial figure known for claiming he could help infertile couples conceive ‘miracle’ babies through prayer.
He was extradited from the UK to Kenya in 2017 to face charges of stealing children, but was acquitted in 2023 due to lack of evidence.
It’s worth noting that he founded churches in several countries, including the UK, and was the founder of Gilbert Deya Ministries.
