A married father of two has been exposed in Kenya for allegedly posing as a Catholic priest and conducting religious activities in several parishes in Turkana County.
The man, identified as Jones Bogonko Onchonga, reportedly gained access to the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar by allegedly presenting forged church documents to support his claim of being an ordained priest.
According to Kenyan publication Tuko, Onchonga reportedly celebrated Mass and took part in other religious activities at various Catholic worship centres, including St Augustine Cathedral in Kalokol, St Thomas Chapel and St Mary’s Lodaraja.
