Nelson Amenya, once a key figure in Prophet David Owuor’s Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, has come forward with claims that expose a lie about a Brazilian jet tied to the church leader. In a recent post on X, Amenya said the jet was hired, not gifted by the Brazilian government, as Owuor and his team had told followers. This adds to a string of revelations from Amenya, who left the church after clashing with its inner workings.
Amenya shared this on January 5, 2026. He wrote that church insiders downloaded jet photos from the internet at first, claiming it was ex-military. Later, they hired a private jet during a trip to Brazil and spun a story about it being a gift. He pointed to a guy at the African Development Bank as the one who set up the lie.
The post got thousands of views quickly, with people reacting in surprise. Some defended Owuor, but others thanked Amenya for speaking up.
This isn’t Amenya’s first dig at Owuor. Just a day before, he posted about editing a video for the prophet. In it, Owuor bragged about a chopper sent by then-President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Amenya said he handled the footage, but it turned out a church member hired the chopper, not Uhuru. He asked followers if he should keep going with more stories. Seems like he decided yes, dropping the jet info next.
Amenya’s history with the church goes back years. He joined out of curiosity, drawn by the preachings, and became a powerful member of the church. He rose fast, working on media while also taking crusade coverage and editing videos and designs. That put him close to Owuor, who calls himself the Mightiest Prophet.
Amenya described the setup as cult-like, where Owuor acts like he’s above everyone else. Questioning anything got you labelled as trouble. He left quietly, fading out without a big announcement.
Things soured more after Amenya blew the whistle on the Adani deal in 2024. That was about a secret plan to lease Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to an Indian firm for 30 years.
He leaked docs showing bad terms for Kenya, like no new airports nearby and uneven shares. Public outcry killed the deal. But Owuor expelled him from the church over it. Amenya said the prophet saw it as rebellion.
Now based in France, Amenya keeps exposing what he calls scams in Owuor’s ministry. In interviews last September, he talked about fake healings. He said some people showed up with staged injuries for crusades. Real miracles? He doubts it, saying nature doesn’t bend that way.
Prayer might help the body heal naturally, but instant fixes like new spinal cords aren’t real. He met bad folks in the church, which turned him off organised religion.
Prophecies are another target. Amenya called out the 2022 election ones as a scam. Owuor predicted things that fit Bible verses but got weird over time. Followers felt cut off from the world, thinking only they had the truth. In Kenya, where faith runs deep, these claims hit hard. Many turn to prophets for hope amid tough times.
The Brazilian jet story fits a pattern of big claims. Back in 2013 or so, during a Brazil crusade, the church said the government gave Owuor a jet for his work.
Photos circulated, exciting followers. Amenya says it was all hired, with lies to boost the prophet’s image. No word yet from Owuor or his team on this latest claim. The ministry often stays quiet on criticism, focusing on services.
Online, the posts sparked debates. Some users called Amenya a hero for truth. One said, “Finally, someone inside speaks.” Others accused him of bitterness after leaving. A parody account joked about Owuor’s anxiety over the exposures. Facebook pages shared the story, shocking Kenyans.
Amenya’s path shifted after Adani. He faced threats, with police visiting his old office. He sued and won against related defamation in France. Now he writes columns and pushes for transparency. His work got him named in New African’s influential list for 2024.
For everyday Kenyans, faith offers comfort. But stories like this warn against blind trust. Amenya seems set on more reveals. He hinted at election prophecy scams next. People in Nakuru or Nairobi churches might rethink things. The story shows how one voice can shake a big group. More might come out soon. Folks online wait for the next post.
