Apostle Ezekiel Odero, founder of New Life Prayer Centre Church, is facing backlash from Kenyans over controversial claims he made regarding an aircraft crash that killed 11 tourists in Diani, Kwale County, on October 28. He asserted he nearly boarded the ill-fated plane but received a divine warning.

• Odero claimed he had booked tickets for a flight from Mombasa to Nairobi, but inconsistencies arose as the crashed plane was traveling from Kwale to the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
• Kenyans criticized the preacher's narrative, highlighting geographic discrepancies and questioning why he didn't intercede to prevent the tragedy despite his alleged divine foresight.
• The incident has led to accusations that Odero is exploiting a tragedy for personal attention.
