Reports Jeff Otieno–In Kisumu- Kenya 10/07/09
A top clergyman name withheld was last weekend caught in a compromising situation with a wife of an intelligence officer in a Kisumu Hotel.
The Bishop who happens to be related to the intelligence officer is said to have been dating the young woman for now almost a decade.
Family members have always prevailed upon the officer to ignore claims that the clergy relative has been dating his wife.
Apparently working on a tip off, the officer name withheld took a plane over the weekend to Kisumu and laid abrasive network with taxi drivers and hotel attendants culminating to a barbaric scenario where the two were caught in the act.
The officer according to sources who talked to this writer confided that he dangled his official identity card and a pistal to gain entry into the room where the two were having their good time.
At inception, the hotel attendants were reluctant to allow him into the room, but thanks to his nature of work and the arsenal he dangled he managed.
A scuffle ensued in the room and the officer in apparent bid to attract public sympathy raised an alarm and a hostile crowd promptly gathered.
The enraged crowd tried in vain to lynch the two but thanks to the intervention of the officer they were salvaged and taken to the police station.
The police officers at the station however later released them since in Kenya’s constitution there’s no provision to cater for such offences.
Enrout to the station, the charged crowd compelled the duo to walk naked and at one time forced them to kiss each other. The bitter and marauding crowd even chained the two as they braved the sweltering heat in a walk which lasted 15 minutes before the police intervened and bandled them in a white saloon car.
The duo were battered seriously and blood could be seen marooning their faces and chests.The officer has however been applauded by observers for restraining himself despite the provocation.




Sensible people keep quite about what they know, but stupid people advertise their ignorance. how many girlfriends does this intelligance officer have?If this intelligance officer is intelligent he will be praised,but with his stupidity people will look down on him. We are all sinners walking around naked is not allowed anywhere in the world. this is wrong- Righteusness gives life, but violence takes it away.
I agree with you Frida,there was no point humiliating them by making themk walk naked.The un-intelligent officer proved his point by catching them red-handed,if he could prevent the mob from lynching them,he sure as hell could have prevented the cheats from having their nakedness made objects for public viewing
You clearly have never been cheated on!
luckily its not a catholic one as the catholic church has an arch bishop who looks nothing like this one and who is not allowed to get married
I never understands why police keep on using weapon all for the wrong reasons. This is not a life threatening condition where a pistol was to be used. He could not use other method apart from showing off with a pistol? This guy deserves an immediate sack. If we allow this behavior to prevail, what will happen to a guy who drives a tank, in the event that his wife cheats, he will storm the hotel with a tank? A fighter pilot with his jet? the same case? Lets for heavens sake stop misusing positions to gain milestone! This guy should know better than show off what the govt has given him. Cheating is not fought by firearm and the same reason could be is making your wife get tired of you. Think man think and stop this habit. What will you do when you do not have a pistol? . Your cheating wife has got nothing to do with the hotel workers and give us a break bwana officer. Ungekuwa mkali unge kuwa na enough control over your wife. Love can never be forced onto somebody. she doesnt love you, she loves someone else let her go and stop showing your lack of training and ineptitude to the public.
The dude has committed suicide,I.e the clergy man
I think for one to suggest against the open-naked-walk treatment meted out to these irresponsible,careless duo is illogical. I may not be supportive of physical actions like beating,but a such a walk is quite soft and very effective in controlling such a wicked social act;bedding another man’s wife,worse still and more painful ,a wife of a relative. I bet you that ‘Bishop’ must have been avoiding preaching against THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT only to trumpet and insist on avalanche and dramatic preach of THE TITHE. Let’s call a spade a spade,it is lack of control such as this that has threatened lasting peace among families to the rise of many silent deaths. Well the case of AIDS devastation cannot be over-emphasised with respect to the havoc it has caused in Western Kenya. This is the sour gift the dishonorable ‘Bishop’ has for his followers ,friends and relatives. I SUGGEST THE POLICEMAN SHOULD SUE THE ‘BISHOP’.
it is sad that this happened. we need to be sobber and mature enough to tactfully handle such senarios.. the policeman errored. what will he tell his kids.. the best was for him was to quietly separate with the wife now that he had real facts..but not to humiliate her to that extend.. who doesnt sin in this world.? I am sure based on the nature of his job(Policeman), he has numerous mpango wa kandos….Please let us not take the law into our own hands!!!!! The policemen can easily be sued for assult.. lakini forgiveness is the way to go.
clearly, this just showed the extent with which kenyans are idle. Gosh! At this rate vision 2030 is just a mirage. Let us focus on developmental issues, am sure all those boda boda people including the aggrieved officer have all strayed and eaten where they were not supposed to. I feel sorry for the two love birds
This is a disgrace not to mention detrimental to the house of the lord which this guy represents…
all he has to do is accept his ways n the husband to the wife should just let them go their ways coz for a whole decade???!!! come on…
If i was the husband and i know this is a humilliatin n tough decision to make; i would just let it pass n nurse my wound… let the bishop n the “wife” lead their own lives coz it’s not reversible.. why lie, time heals tho the mind seems never to forget but it’s th best thing to do.
The wise will know u r one of them unlike the ignorant who will try n justify their masculinity upon this issue.
this bishop is total on the side of devil! though they didint express the church he belong, because there are other churches they are not allow their revelent, pastor and bishops to marry, but this is total wrong according to human nature, to abstain up to oldery age for real men is total impossible. to disallow them from marriage is to make them to be more sinner physical, mental and run stupidity act like this, the intelligent officer his reaction was right dont joke with somebody wife or husband
This ‘bishop’ sinned. And the officer’s wife too. This should be punished. BUT the officer got it all wrong as some of his relatives are his kids (or his relatives’ kids if he doesn’t have any of his own).He should have taken more diplomatic approach to save children from this.
He also used excessive force or the wrong tools in his intervention, exposing him to prosecution. As it is now, he must not cheat himself that he has a wife. I hope that it was not his wish to maintain her.
We have to blame the two first. They knew that what they were doing was wrong and still they continued with it for 10 years. The Bishop is a false, fake a and wrong role model, he does not practice what he preaches. If he did practice what he preaches then he could have avoided the humiliation that befell him.
i don’t not condone the “mob justice” or the unwarranted immediate justice that was delivered by a “jua kali jury” against the cheating couple who caught in the wrong place at the wrong time indulging themselves for all the wrong reasons in the world.
in the meatime, there some kenyans living in europe, australia and north america, who are still calling the incident or rather vicious attacks metted out on the couple as babaric, primitive and inhuman rapage. i agree with them 100%.
however, i would to let them know that the next time some of them come to kenya for their two, three or four weeks vacation, they (cheatres if any) should keep in mind the lessons that the unfortunate couple in question learned the hard way. i am not stating that all kenyans living abroad do indulge in such affairs. however, it’s warning to the hardcore members of the cheaters club who love to entice other people’s spouses (husbands or wives) to indulge in such sexual affairs that are carried out in some of the hotels around the country.
times have changed, it doesn’t matter whether some of the cheating spouses are flown to nairobi, mombasa, malindi, lamu or out to far away places in the game reserves and beach resorts.
the fact remains that every dog has it’s day, and every thief has his/her forty days, and every cheating spouse has that one day that they will regret getting caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons and by the wrong “jua kali jury”.
someone once said that “it goes with the territory and a player or cheater needs to know consequences of indulging in such affairs within a particular territory.” people might just have a field day watching their daytime soap opera on youtube, given that there are so many cellphones and other digital gadgets that are quick to record suct enticing dramas.
the “thoughtless and restless public” loves real action rather the western “reality tv shows.” don’t give them the excuse, otherwise you will be at their mercy with little protection from the power that be.
Its all crap!Who hasn´t sinned????This is all normal things in the world!Why r child molesters, rapists ………….& all stupid violent crime doers not stoned naked???Wake up guyz its primitive & babaric!!!!Very African act quik & think latter no wonder there is drought in Kenya………….Is it not due to being stupid & babaric……………Were not many farmers killed????????????????
I think we are loosing site of the reality. Those who choose to take that line of behaviour can do so with thousands of those unmarried women. If married people wish to take up that line of bevaviour, may be they need to divorce their partners first.
For this Bishop to engage in that line of behaviour with a “daughter in law” is tasteless and unacceptable!
I have read with dismay some commentators who have gone as far as blaming Police and carrying gun etc. Surely, for those who are locked into blaming the Intelligent Officer have truly lost the reality. This poor man is a victim and should earn our sympathy! The Bishop and thid woman deserve to be shamed on earth and in Heven.
As for the children, I would least be worried what he is going to tell his children. Besides, those children may not after all be his. This woman and the Bishop do not deserve to be called human beings nor patronized.
We live in a society where dignity is the first order and for those who want to glorify that behaviour, let them take note of what has happened. They may be next to be paraded in the streets. I fully support the mob action taken in Kisumu. As an ex-Councilor to the City of Kisumu, I say “hail to the City and its Mob Action”.
PA Wando
These are the last days. If I were in the husbands shoes, I would have thought the same, but what distubs is, how the man and the woman who were cought in that act would live with people in the society, how their children will look at them. I can not say much but God forgive them. Let them all go down on to their knees before God and ask for real forgiveness. If the woman is excommunicated by the husband, let her and the man they were cought with come together and re marry, otherwise they will live with self inflicted trauma upto the time they will leave this world.
Yawa wachni lit Bishop with his daughter in-law!! May our good Lord GOD cleanse them and give them wisdom and directions kama his fallen watoto!!
I find the act of meting such levels of torture and serious physical injury not to mention the mental and emotional fractures not only barbaric and inhuman but also very primitive. Excuse me, people beating others up, perhaps you are just as guilty, and even if you weren’t, it’s none of your business, both are adults over 18 years and can consent to whatever they want to do., moreover they did not rent any equipments from you, stop being violently primitive.
The only institutions offended here are the spouses/families of both the man and woman, one of whom was there and acted so ineptly and with total lack of intelligence Mr. intelligence officer. Besides the church where this pastor was leading, but all are human, do not get me wrong.
“Mr. Intelligence officer”, you acted in total abuse of your profession, which should provide security and instead you became the real source of insecurity and the agent of terror and mayhem. If this has been going on, then, perhaps you are either doing something wrong or not doing anything right with your wife to be seeking it from another man, and if she loves the other man for whatever reason, let go!!!! Man up!!!. Otherwise this was an act of stupidity and wickedness even from your part.
To the so called pastor, yours is too much, you have no right even standing before a people, but I won’t judge you; sort yourself with your creator. For the woman, if you have to sleep around, yet still claim to be married, check the Islamic law, you would have been stoned to death in public, and you have had attest of what it feels, no one ties you to a man. Make it right with your husband or with estranged lover.
the wags of sin is death, what you do in darkness will come out in light,the devil is paying the pastor of what he did in darkness.he should repent , god is mercyfull
If Kenyans did this to those who stole votes, and the many involved in corruption like they did to these love birds, Kenya would be the best place.Sin is sin and categorizing sin is the worst sin.Kenyans are sick and very idle.Would you ever like to see your father or mother naked?How comes that the young jaluos could watch their parents nakedness without shame?It is not also fair to condemn the man in the name of bishop.Its not the mob justice who called him or the police officer but God and so non had any right to pinpoint him.They took God’s judgement into their own hands and they gonna pay soon.
This kind of mob injustice should never be allowed in a civilized society that respects human rights.
What was the point in doing this? The Police officer most likely is a polygamist with many other mistresses as well. This Police officer should be fired for taking the law in his own hands.
HE MUST GO. This is what rogue cops do, and he must be stopped. The right thing to do would have been to seek divorce. The Police commissioner must act swiftly.
The unintelligent officer should be arrested immediately and charged in court. He should be compelled to name his hired thugs who in any case are identifiable on camera.
Am ashamed of being a Kenyan if such a law enforcement officer could stop so low. He is a threat to law and order and the commissioner of police should have him dismissed forth with.
Justice must always be our shield and defender. If he felt aggrieved by his promiscuous wife, the law provides for divorce proceedings which he could have prayed for and definitely granted with the adequate evidence. That he used a pistol to gain entry to the room is to say the least disgusting. In my humble estimation he is no better than a terrorist.
If you were an officer and learnt your wife has been at it with somebody you trusted for 10 years, I m sure you’d slop lower than that. Stop being so “holy”. There’s no justice if there are no morals by which it should lay grounds on.
Anything else?
HAVING AN AFFAIR IS NEVER A CRIME. ASSAULT IS. tHIS POLICE OFFICER OUGHT TO BE PROSECUTED FOR ASSAULT. ITS HIGH TIME THAT THE RULE OF LAW PREVAILED.
DALLAS MAN
please leave what GOD has brought 2gether if they feel like doing it let them go ahead. but i felt self pity 4 them can u cover her please caz its so disgusting. the people who offended them they always do it but they have not been caught so dont judge others please instead pray 4 the clergy to repent and become a member instead of being a clergy he cannot manage GOD PLIZ 4 GIVE.
What they have been doing in hotel rooms for the last eleven [11] years is more disgusting!!!
Vonication with a daughter-inlaw irregardless of the consequences go beyond human taste! Besides, in the Luio tradition, his nephew’s wife is his daughter! Suppose some of those children conceived in the process are his? Is she supposed to tell them who their father is?
That woman would not have the common sense to hold-off on any pregnancy unless she was doing it with the husband. She has no sense of purpose or direction.
If she was doing it with some strange man not closely related to her, our views would certainly be slightly different. But your own daughter for eleven years!! Besides, this is a Bishop supposed to know better and not likely to be induced by the evil forces from this woman.
Some ladies are saying – why are we hard on her and not the Bishop! Surely, they know better that the role of a woman is a “mother of earth” and not a scam bag for prostitution. Without a woman playing that important role, we might as well give up the earth and call upon God to destroy it completely.
No, you do not have a case.
Peter Wando
The so called Intelligent officer, you should have shown your intelligence by not washing ur dirty linen in public. Can you tell Kenyans and the world how many prize awards you have won for being Kenya’s good and dedicated Intellignet officer? As a mother i would advice you to sit down and think of ur action putting ur kids first.Put yourself in your kinds shoes!This will haunt them for life and as a result they will hate you for life.You were too selfish to mind of ur own self.I pray u are not an adulterous otherwise u are going to pay thru ur nose. For the victims, cry for forgiveness from God and change ur ways.By doing this He will erase ur sins and raise you using u as role models to change the.For the family, dont judge, foorgive and dont hate stay in LOVE, PEACE&UNITY your reward is in heaven. To the public, to those who judge and condemn, stop wasting your time tusiwe watu wa kubomoa tujenge taifa letu and the world as a whole.
the only difference is that the others have not been caught red handed. wacheni kujifanya that this is not what goes on away from the public eye. they should not have been beaten up
You are right. Most of the others have not been caught! But I do not believe they have been engaged in this type of “sex-triangle” with close relatives as did the Bishop and this woman!!
What makes this case so ugly is that these two have “crossed the line in the sand”. They engaged in this sex triangle with close relative – Uncle/Daughter – for eleven years, irrespective of consequences!!!
If Luos have to remain a viable community, where do we draw the line?
If you think the beating they got is bad, wait until you see what God is going to do to them. Surely, as a human being tell me where you draw your moral line? I don’t believe that majority of our people have gone that low!!!!!!!!!
Peter Wando
Judgement we leane unto God.
Jesus said to those who took him the prostittute, …’He who is clean to through a stone at her…’ All of therm were guilty and keft stealthily.
Bisho, shoulkd simply repent and go bacjk to God’s work, He is a s servant of the most High God,, Satan’s aim is to defeat God!!!!!!! Tis was actually fully the devil’s plan.. Christians lets look at this with a deeper eye, it has more than the eye can see. Pole sana Bishop and mama
This is a shame to the idle Kenyans, who had time watching irrelevant live videos. Go to work or do something worth. This is the order of the day in the world, and I don’t see the fun in it. If you have nothing to do, don’t do it there. Pray for these two lovers – do not condemn and ashame them.
God help us all.
Amen! But let’s play our part too though
Thats stupid and babaric act! yes it pains but lets be reasonable ion life, whos not a sinner?
Nobody!
However, killing 1000 pple doesn’t have the same effects on society as stealing a pen. Does it? Having an affair is common for sure. Hiding it for 10 years is the highest selfish act I can ever imagine. How can such a woman be a good mother ? JUST fr#&*& HOW?
What the husband did was a very terrible act uncivilisation. He has succeeded disgracing himself and especially his children. The husband to me is insane
From the pictures on the two victims’ ordeal,we see men carrying rungus,tyres etc. I tend to bliv these are the men who shamelessly rape our babies, daughters, mothers, sisters, pupils etc.Women we should condemn this policeman’s act even if the wife went astray. You can never knw why she did this.Women are not objects n i appeal to Human rights to intervene.It is nolonger a domestic issue since this policeman deemed it wise to bring it into the public’s eye expecting to get our support.However long it takes,let him be assured that incase he has any kids, he is answerable to them and is going to pay for this.Am sure those pple supporting him must be the rapists i have mentioned above.Even the creator Himself says, do not judge, do not pay evil for evil so let us leave the two for God to judge. Kenyans, its my prayer that you DONT ALLOW SUCH ONE OR AFEW UNREASONABLE CHARACTERS TO SPOIL OUR COUNTRY’S IMAGE. WAZEE, BE WISE! DONT WASH UR DIRTY LINEN IN PUBLIC. WHICH PLANET DO YOU LIVE? THESE THINGS HAPPEN, LUCIFER IS TRYING TO OUTDO GOD. GOD FORBID!!
Lucy:
Your characterization is reckless and dangerous! If you think a woman [just for being a woman] can do any sociadal harm and get away with is completely ill-conceived and dengerously misguided!!
You describe the mob who participated in the odeal as rapists who have raped your babies!! You have utterly forgotten that those you referred to as your babies actually belong to the families [and the communities] and not, necessarily, to men or women.
Those women who are glorifying the reckless behaviour of the Bishop and his daughter in-law need to identify their last names to help us understand whether these views are their tribal views or simply views borne out of “majengo”!
Enouugh is enough. We are not going to allow a few reckless people [men and women] to perpetuate their views on our society. In any society, even the most civilized societies all over the world, have the rules that have governed those societies for many centuries!! Believe me, I have lived in Europe and America for the last 35 years. Everywhere, each community is so proud of their culture – be they Italians, Jews, Indians, Japanese, Chinese etc. etc.
In the name of civilization, we Africans have the tendency to over-practive foriegn cultures at the expense of our own and totally ignore the consequences. How many of these excited ladies have taken time to seriously review the future effects of such behavious on our communities? May be, as long as it supports our reckless behavious then it is ok! I have checked with some leading professional medical authorities who have concurred that such behaviour tend to damage our children permanently! Does that bother you?
The worst rapists are these two individuals who have for the last eleven years disregarded family and priestwood and taken God’s laws into their owh hands. I guess we have to ask our children to look the other side abd assume that nothing wrong is going on.
The image of our Country is turnished by these two people [and many more like them] supported by you. So don’t hide there pleading innocence while publicly destroying our communities.
May God bless the innocent!!
Peter Wando
The two love birds didn’ deserve such like humilation. I want to believe that they both had kids and for their kids to see them naked walking on the street it is uncalled off. Very ashamefull of police officer’s way of solving a problem.
On the other hand i strong don’t welcome the Clergyman’s act and speacially that this act took 10 years to be discovered. We should not post bad comments but learn from this story. That God is not happy with sinners and that he says that there is no stone that will be left unturned and that all of us are sinful in the eyes of God.
Listen, You remember the story of the prostitute women in the bible??? Think twice friends before commenting. Yo might be the worse one not yet found
this is a very big lesson that whatever is done in the darkness shall be brought into the light.The husband should have done the honorable thing that is divorce rather than humiliating the two and himself too.
All these expressions of indignation are worthless. Here are two people who owe others a duty of care: A bishop entrusted with helping feuding spouses sort differences and conducting weddings; and a wife who may infect her husband with AIDS. To be paraded around like that is useful, first to the church members who rely on the bishop…they wont seek counseling from him because he is a hyena and for the lady, I hope that was the end of the marriage.
People be real! Unless vice has become virtue and virtue is vice.
SHAME,SHAME,SHAME TO THE OFFICER HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF AND THE CHILDREN? WHY DO NOT YOU ASK YOUR SELF WHY YOUR WIFE IS DOING THIS AND YET YOU ARE STILL ALIVE AND CLAIMING THAT YOU ARE A MAN.TRY AND GET WHY YOUR WIFE IS MOVING WITH OTHER MEN,MAYBE YOU DO NOT SATISFY HER IN BED AND OTHER THINGS AS A MAN.WHY TAKE A SUCH ACTION AND YET YOU DO NOT KNOW THE REASON BEHIND ALL THIS? YOU ARE NOT A TOSHAA MAN THAT IS YOUR NAKEDNESS NOT HERS AND FROM THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF ANSWERS TO IT.WHAT DID YOU GAIN FROM THE WHOLE THING IF NOT SHAME.I AM A WOMAN AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GET SOMEONE WHO CAN LOVE ME AND TREAT ME WELL SINCE MY HUSBAND IS NOW FED UP AND CAN NOT.DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE DONE THE SAME?
This message is for the lonely one. If you are looking for someone because your husband does not treat you well, then leave him immediately so that you can have freedom to do what you want. Do not start cheating while still predending to love him and having sex with him. You might catch HIV out there and infect him. And that is why it would be fair for you to be frog matched naked if caught cheating in a hotel with a clergy or any other man
mhhh! sidhani kama ni dawa kuwatembeza watu uchi mbele ya hadhara! si haki za binaadamu, pia kimaadili ya ki-Afrika si vizuri kuona utupu wa mtu mbele ya kadamnasi, hata kama amewafumania wakiwa kitandani, asingechukua uamuzi alioufanya, angeviachia vyombo vya sheria vifanye kazi yake na si kuchukua sheria mkononi, wote tu wadhambi tena wadhambi wakubwa na tunafanya mambo ya ajabu sana bila watu wetu wanaotuzunguka kujua.
Any way namshauri tu dada huyu angeamua kuachana na mumewe kwanza ndio afanye mambo mengine kuliko kuwamix.
Jada i support you.The holly book quotes that Kwa maana wote tumetenda dhambi na kupungukiwa na utukufu wa Mungu.So none is perfect thats why we always ask for forgiveness each day we pray.THAT OFFICER SHOULD GO AND REPENT COZ ONE DAY IT MAY HAPPEN TO HIM.WHAT WILL HE SAY TO THE PUBLIC IF CAUGHT.nEVER CLEAN YOUR DIRTY LINEN IN PUBLIC.
