Drama as Pastor Kanyari 'casts out demons' from actor Omosh

The viral video which was shared widely on Monday raised eyes brows particularly because the supposed 'exorcism' was being conducted by the infamous man of cloth, Prophet Kanyari.

The video opens with Pastor Kanyari declaring that he has set 'Omosh' free from the demons 'currently holding him hostage'

With a flick of his wrist, and generous, erratic gestures, the preacher who was outed sometime in 2015 for hoodwinking his flock, then sends actor sprawling to the floor, before declaring him freed. 

"Nimemfungulia Joseph anga, ndio Nyota yake ikaweze kurejea,... I set this man free," the peacher says. 

In an interview with Tuko, the once high-flying actor denied staging the viral video, and offered tha he has just succumbed to the 'spirit' which sent him to the floor. 

"Mtumishi wa Mungu kukuombea si vibaya.There was no acting there. I was being prayed for you I was deep in prayers. When he put his hand on me nikajirelease kama ni baraka siwezi kaza mguu ionekane sikuanguka. No! I fell," Omosh was quoted as saying. 

The actor has been on and off headlines since opening up about his dire financial status, partly occasioned by the global pandemic. 

Omosh made news last year after opening up about his dire financial status, which he claimed was occasioned by the global coronavirus pandemic. 

Kenyans, moved by his story contributed in their droves, gifting him among other things,  cash and a new house. 

He would be back on the news shortly after, this time asking for more help, much to the outrage of well wishers. 

In his defense, he said the contributions from Kenyans were in the outskirts of Ksh.700,000 and were mainly used to settle his debts.
