PASTOR TO FACE CHILD THEFT CHARGES

-

NAIROBI, KENYA A popular Kenyan televangel­ist was extradited from Britain on Friday to face charges of child traffickin­g amid accusation­s he stole children, including newborns, to prove miracles.

Gilbert Deya, pictured, was charged in a Kenyan court with five counts of child stealing.

The children allegedly were to be offered as proof of miracles Deya claimed he had conducted to make infertile women pregnant.

Deya had fought extraditio­n for more than 10 years. His wife, Mary, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2014 for stealing a baby.
