Police want to be allowed to detain the pastor for 30 more days to complete investigations against him.
The New Life Prayer Centre and Church pastor was arrested on Thursday and police say that there is credible information linking him to the bodies exhumed at the Shakahola land in Malindi, Kilifi County.
They added that there are several followers of his ministry whom they believe have met their death in their quest for divine intervention.
Sarah Odera, during a service that was live streamed on YouTube on Thursday night, told congregants of New Life Church, to be patient as police investigate her husband.
She also said services had been suspended.
Sarah said, "Because of what is going on on the part of the authorities as pertains to investigations, I have come here to tell you that there is nothing sinister but we will not have services tomorrow and the day after."
"It is good that we also give the authorities a chance to do their investigations. You have heard a lot of things in the media and elsewhere. It's not just New Life Church. Investigations are being done on several churches."
Sarah went on to say that "nothing is too hard for God."
