Kenyan 'miracle babies' pastor dies in road crash
Controversial Kenyan televangelist Gilbert Deya, who claimed he created miraculous pregnancies, has died in a road crash. Police told local media that Deya died on the spot on Tuesday evening after his vehicle was involved in an accident with a university bus and another vehicle near Kisumu town in western Kenya. At least 30 other people were reportedly injured, including a person identified as his wife and a passenger in his vehicle, and 15 students in the bus. Deya, who ran a church in London, rose to infamy in the early 2000s, following his claim that he could help infertile couples conceive "miracle" babies through prayer. Investigations later linked his church to an alleged child-trafficking ring, leading to his arrest and extradition from the UK about eight years ago after a decade-long legal battle. He was acquitted of the charges two years ago due to insufficient evidence. On Wednesday, Siaya County Governor James Orengo said he had learnt with "deep sorrow and regret of the passing on of Bishop Gilbert Deya". He confirmed that the "horrific" road accident had involved a vehicle belonging to the county.
