The investigating officer took to the dock this morning and confirmed that all banks had complied and he had no issue with the pastor accessing his church accounts.

While being cross-examined by Lawyer Danstan Omari, Inspector Martin Munene told the court that from the documentation received none of the accounts was in the name of the pastor.

He said all accounts were either for the church or the school. However, the officer said Safaricom had not complied with the court order as of today and wanted them to be summoned for not producing data relating to the SIM cards in question.

The matter will be mentioned on Tuesday next week to confirm if Safaricom will have complied with the court order.

Omari also informed the court that their client Pastor Ezekiel was currently in his Mavueni church where senior security chiefs and lawyer Cliff Ombeta are going through his premises to verify issues.
