Televangelist Ezekiel Odero's lawyers now want anyone with evidence against him to come forth.

Speaking on Monday, the lawyers said anyone with evidence of the crime he is alleged to have committed should take it to any media station or report it to any police station.

The lawyers (Danstan Omari and Cliff Ombeta) said there is no accuser in the case and the police are on a wild goose chase.

"Ezekiel ametutuma akatuambia wewe kama ni mtu ambaye una ushahidi nenda kwenye chombo chochote cha habari ukatangaze," Danstan Omari said.

This translates to, "Ezekiel has sent us to tell you that if you have evidence go to any media house and announce."

Ombeta said "Nobody has come to say Ezekiel has killed or radicalised them. Nobody has come to say he has laundered money for them."

The two lawyers said they believe in the Kenyan justice system, adding that the courts will vindicate Pastor Ezekiel.

Omari said the media should stop tarnishing their client's name.

Pastor Ezekiel Odero was released on Sh3 million bond or Sh1.5 million cash bail on Thursday.

The prosecution had applied to detain Odero for 30 days, citing fresh affidavits in a case involving mass deaths.

However, Shanzu senior principal magistrate Joe Omido threw out the application.

The preacher of New Life Church and Prayer Centre had already spent seven days in custody at Port police.
