Bishop Johanna defends his 'exorcism' tactics

Bishop Johanna

Social media platforms have been abuzz with news about Bishop Johanna, an Akorino sect bishop, also known as Dickson Gichuhi, who found himself at the centre of controversy when an online video surfaced, depicting him purportedly "exorcising demons" from a woman in her undergarments.

He is seen touching a woman congregant and applying ointment to various parts of her body, including her stomach and private areas, while she lies on her back.
