As per the Bible, Jesus Christ faced immense suffering during his arrest by the Pharisees, and this culminated in what is known as the Passion of Christ. In Kenya, people are wondering whether Eliud Simiyu, the self-proclaimed Jesus of Tongaren from Bungoma will align with the scriptures.
According to a post by a netizen, Yesu, who is currently in Bungoma, alleges that his life is at risk as Easter approaches. Reportedly, some locals have overheard that he should be crucified during the Easter period, similar to how Jesus was crucified.
This post has attracted some witty remarks on the internet. The wife of the man asserted that her husband converted water into a copious amount of tea that was savoured by the villagers. A few people even took some tea home as informed during an interview with NTV.
Further, an online user has made a claim that Jesus of Tongeren has expressed concern about his safety. However, they have also assured Yesu that if he is indeed the Messiah, he will rise from the dead on the third day and ascend to the heaven.
