Angry residents storm the palatial home of the controversial church leader Paul Mackenzie in Kilifi County.
On May 1, irate Kilifi County people attacked the opulent house and church of controversial pastor Paul Mackenzie.
A brick perimeter wall was torn down by locals from the Furunzi neighborhood in Malindi town to push their way inside the house minutes after Mackenzie and the police visited the site, which was being considered as a crime scene.
Chanting for justice, the residents vandalized the property, a few minutes past 7 pm, after police safely evacuated the pastor from his home.
At that time, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) searched the facility and found documents and laptops they thought might have been used for radicalization.
Immediately after police officers left the scene, the residents who had surrounded the home for most of the day stormed the premises.
They also destroyed building structures and slashed down banana and coconut trees.
Police officers rushed back to the scene and dispersed the crowd before they could cause further damage.
Until his arrest on Saturday, April 15, Mackenzie used to live with his third wife and mother at the palatial home.

He closed the Good News International Church in 2019 and relocated his operations to Shakahola Forest, where he is believed to have radicalized over 109 followers to starve to death.
A postmortem conducted by government pathologist Johansen Oduor on some of the victims on Monday, May 1, showed that there was a possibility that a number were murdered.
Oduor’s statement came a few hours after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki revealed that there were looking at the possibility of organ harvesting.
“If our people have their organs missing, we will tell the world. There is nothing we are hiding.
“We will find out why the organs are missing, who took them, and where they were taken,” the CS assured Kenyans.
