What began as a regular day on the Kisumu-Bondo road in Kenya quickly turned into tragedy when a serious accident claimed the life of a well-known figure—Bishop Gilbert Deya.

The televangelist, widely recognized both for his religious influence and the controversies surrounding him, was killed in a fatal road crash near Namba Kapiyo, close to Holo.

A Sudden and Shocking Collision

According to early reports, a large trailer lost control after its brakes failed.

The truck plowed into the SUV that Bishop Deya was traveling in, resulting in a devastating impact. He was one of the casualties at the scene.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the religious community and across the country.

Remembering Bishop Gilbert Deya

Bishop Deya was no stranger to headlines. A televangelist known for his bold and often disputed claims, he rose to fame for saying he could help women conceive “miracle babies” through prayer.

These claims sparked widespread controversy and even legal battles, with many questioning the legitimacy of his practices.

A Life That Stirred Debate and Devotion

While some followers remained steadfast in their belief in Deya’s ministry, others saw him as a symbol of religious exploitation.

Regardless of where one stood on his legacy, there’s no denying the impact he had on Kenya’s religious landscape.

His story was one of faith, conflict, and deep public scrutiny.

Heartfelt Condolences Pour In

As news of the crash spreads, messages of sympathy are beginning to flood in from across Kenya and beyond.

Families, friends, and former followers are mourning not just the loss of a person, but the end of a complicated chapter in modern African evangelism.

A Community in Mourning

In the wake of this tragedy, our hearts go out to all those affected—not just Bishop Deya’s family, but also the other victims of this terrible accident.

We hope they find strength and peace during such a painful time.
