The head of the New Jerusalem sect, Eliud Wekesa, also referred to as "Jesus of Tongaren," was called in on Tuesday for interrogation regarding his dubious theological beliefs.
He has persuaded churchgoers to think that he is Jesus. Twelve of Mr. Wekesa's students bear the names of biblical Jacob's offspring.
On Wednesday, he is anticipated to appear before the police in the western county of Bungoma.
According to local media, the preacher claims he hasn't done anything illegal to merit being arrested and that all he does is promote the gospel.
In light of the exhumation of 21 more bodies by investigators on Tuesday in the coastal Kilifi county, the number of people believed to have perished in the doomsday cult now stands at 133.
The pastor of the Good News International Church in Kilifi, Pastor Paul Mackenzie, is facing charges of ordering his members to starve to death and is currently awaiting trial.
There have been hundreds more people reported missing.
A panel of investigation has been established by President William Ruto to look into the so-called Shakahola cult fatalities in Kilifi county.
In a possible case of religious kidnapping, police in the neighboring Kwale county on Monday pulled 200 individuals, including 50 children, out of a jungle.
