Pastors 'resurrect' a body but see what happened

We have heard only of stories in the Bible where Jesus resurrected the dead.

Many years after Jesus ascended to heaven, several religious leaders have tried to rise the dead to no avail.

Recently in Naivasha, drama ensued after a family sought the services of two religious leaders to resurrect their daughter who died a few weeks ago.

Residents of Karati village in the lakeside town were left in shock and fear following the bizarre incident by the worshippers from one of the evangelical churches.

A woman whose one year old daughter died last month following an accident arrived in the village and began exhuming the remains of her child accompanied by two pastors.

Villagers who saw the incident gathered at the scene where the group that was undeterred by the large gathering continued with the exhumation.

Once done, the woman who was wailing uncontrollably removed the body of her daughter from the coffin and together with the clergymen began praying for her to ‘rise’ from the dead.

One of the residents alerted the local chief who arrived with police who arrested the woman, her sister and the two pastors.

Area chief Samuel Ng’ang’a termed the incident as illegal saying police were handling the matter and the body had been taken to Naivasha hospital mortuary.
