Controversial pastor, Paul Makenzi, and his followers will be detained at Malindi Prison after starving themselves for 10 days at various police stations where they were being held.

One of Makenzi's followers, Fredrick Karimi, on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, collapsed at Shanzu Law Courts after going on a hunger strike for 10 days, with six other emaciated followers unable to walk to the dock.
