Media personality Joyce Gituro has apologized after facing backlash for defending a senior pastor dismissed from Nairobi Baptist Church due to gross misconduct. Gituro stated she reacted too quickly without knowing the full, serious nature of the allegations.

• Gituro deleted her initial post after learning the truth, affirming she stands against all forms of abuse.
• The pastor's dismissal was effective June 1, 2025, following "serious allegations of misconduct" incompatible with his calling.
• The church's Elders Council is working to support those directly impacted, prioritizing healing and justice.
