Popularly known as Pastor Ezekiel, he is building a helipad, restaurant and an international school on his expansive church grounds.
Known for his commanding baritone voice and signature all-white garb, he is rarely spotted without a huge Bible in his hand.
To his followers, Ezekiel Ombok Odero is a gifted spiritual leader who can cure HIV with "holy water." To his detractors, he is little more than a sophisticated conman preying on Kenya's poor.
Kenyan police arrested Odero on Thursday over the "mass killing of his followers" and closed his New Life Prayer Centre and Church, just days after the discovery of dozens of bodies linked to another church.
