Pastor Ezekiel Odero will spend two more nights at Port Police Station.
This is after the court directed that his case will be heard on May 4.
The embattled preacher was arrested on April 27 and police had requested that he be detained for 30 days pending the conclusion of the investigations.
But the court has allowed the police to detain him for seven days.
Shanzu Senior Principal Magistrate Joe Omido directed that the matter will be mentioned on May 4.
Last Friday, Odero was arraigned before Shanzu Magistrate Court after he was accused of committing the felony of murder, aiding suicide, abduction, radicalization, genocide, crimes against humanity, child cruelty, fraud and money laundering.
The Director of Criminal Investigation filed an affidavit asking the court to deny Odero bail terms because the crimes under investigation by their nature, gravity and seriousness are complex.
Odero is also linked to controversial Malindi-based preacher, Paul Mackenzie, who is also behind bars for the alleged deaths of his followers in Shakahola in Magarini, Kilifi.
Due to the exigence of time as a consequence of the constitutional timelines for the arrest and arraignment of suspects, the Shanzu Magistrate Court reserved May 2 for the delivery of the ruling after listening to oral highlights of both parties
