What you need to know:

  • The man, a bachelor, claims the posts have scuttled his hopes of finding a wife within the church.
  • He alleges that the WhatsApp posts depicted him as an immoral and evil person who has been suspended from the church.

Trouble is brewing at 'prophet' David Owuor's Ministry of Repentance and Holiness church after an aggrieved youth leader sued a deputy bishop over posts made in their WhatsApp group.

Simon Aluchio, a long-time member of the church, filed a defamation suit against deputy bishop Jackson Barno at the Eldoret Law Courts over what he termed as "character assassination" and mischievous damage.
