On May 25, 2022, police arrested Joseph Mduma, a former Deliverance Church pianist, and his accomplice Daniel Koros, after neighbours intervened to stop the torture of three minors in Kaptimbor trading centre.
According to The Standard, the minors suffered serious burn injuries after Mduma allegedly forced them to stand on a burning oven to extract a confession.
Deliverance Church's North Rift Regional Overseer Isaac Mutai has distanced the church from Mduma, stating that he was kicked out last year due to indiscipline and does not pastor in any of the church's locations.
“We ordain ministers and the man does not pastor in any of the churches within the ministry,” Mutai said.
Mduma is currently in police custody and is expected to take a plea on May 31, 2022.
