TL;DR
Kenyan authorities have arrested Ezekiel Ombok Odero, a prominent televangelist, on charges related to the mass killing of his followers. Odero pastors the New Life Prayer Church in Mavueni, Kilifi County, and his church has been shut down. Over 100 people who were holed up at the premises have been evacuated and will be required to record statements.
