The officer in charge of Shimo la Tewa Maximum Prison, Abdi Willy Adan, dismissed claims by preacher Paul Mackenzie that his life is in danger while in custody.

• Adan stated the prison's security is intact and Mackenzie's accusations of a planted harmful substance in his cell are baseless.
• Mackenzie, linked to the Shakahola massacre, requested to be moved to Manyani prison, a request protested by Adan due to security and cost concerns.
• Mackenzie and 34 others face 191 counts of murder and crimes against children after the Shakahola starvation cult.
