Drama as sect members try to discharge sick girl forcefully

Naivasha, Kenya: There was drama at Naivasha Referral hospital after members of a sect tried to forcefully take away a 14-year-old girl undergoing treatment at the facility.

Members of the Church of God, who do not believe in medication, wailed and prayed loudly when their attempts to take away the girl were frustrated by the hospital management.

Police had rescued the minor from their house in Kinungi village suffering from swelling of the body which doctors suspect is caused by kidney failure.

According to Naivasha sub-County Medical Officer, Dr Oren Ombiro, the minor's body was swollen when she was brought in.

"The minor at first refused to be treated saying her faith did not allow her to take any medication," said the doctor.
