A Kenyan pastor now based in the UK is under investigation for selling kits supposed to protect people from coronavirus.
The man of the cloth, prophet Climate Irungu Wiseman is selling the “plague protection kit” made of oil and red string for a whopping Sh10,000. On his website, the self-proclaimed prophet says, “It is by faith that you can be saved from the Coronavirus pandemic by covering yourself with the Divine Plague Protection Oil and wearing the Scarlet Yarn on your body.” On March 21, he claimed the Lord instructed him to prepare oil mixed with cedarwood, hyssop, and prayer to fight the pandemic. “As you use this oil, along with special scarlet yarn, every coronavirus and any other deadly thing will pass over you,” he said. But Southwark Council’s Councillor Victoria Mills condemned prophet Climate for taking advantage of the people during this period.
