Meet Kenya’s ‘Third God’: The Latest Bizarre Religious Claim Shaking the Nation

Kenya has had its fair share of drama, controversy, and even tragedy when it comes to religion. The latest addition to the growing list of self-proclaimed divine figures is Alfred Ndeta, a man from Kakamega, who now claims to be the ‘Third God’. His declaration follows closely after that of 50-year-old Judith Nafula from Busia, who recently declared herself the biblical Virgin Mary.

Ndeta alleges that he descended to earth in 1987 and mysteriously found himself in Nairobi, with no memory of where he came from. He believes he came with the divine purpose of saving mankind. Soon after, he claims to have gone into a deep sleep where he experienced a series of spiritual encounters, including a conversation with what he believes was the Holy Spirit.

He says that during one of these divine experiences, he was instructed to move to a place he refers to as “heaven,” which he identifies as Shibuli. In a bizarre twist, Ndeta claims he took the form of a cheetah-like creature to relocate from Nairobi to Shibuli, where he began constructing his version of heaven under divine guidance. According to him, the completed structure will spell out the word “GOD” and serve as a holy site from which he will forgive nations and cleanse sin.

However, this grand mission has encountered a financial obstacle. Ndeta is now appealing to the Kenyan government for financial assistance to complete his ‘heaven’, as he says he has run out of funds.

Adding to his growing list of unusual claims, Ndeta insists he remembers the exact date—August 22, 1988—when he banished Satan to hell. He also claims to know Eliud Wekesa, popularly known as ‘Yesu wa Tongaren’, referring to him as his son. Wekesa previously made national headlines with his own proclamation of being the biblical Jesus and even attracted a group of disciples.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Judith Nafula also surfaced with extraordinary claims. She alleges to possess supernatural powers and has established her own church in Busia after being excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Her followers now flock to her daily, seeking healing and miracles.

As these stories continue to unfold, they highlight the complex intersection between faith, belief, and societal influence—raising important questions about how far religious freedom should stretch and what safeguards are needed in the face of increasingly bizarre spiritual claims.
