The founder of New Life Prayer Centre Church, preacher Ezekiel Odero, has expressed concern about the high rate of premature deaths among young people in Kenya.

According to Pastor Ezekiel, these deaths are not ordinary and are associated with ritual sacrifices.

He said that young people are unwittingly trapped in a dark web, where their lives are used as offerings.

"You see these deaths that befall young men, they are linked to oaths and customs. How they commit suicide is about this.

I always tell them that the internet is a good thing, but it is bigger than this world. Choose where to live on the internet because you cannot live everywhere on the internet."

In his plea, Pastor Ezekiel urged young people to turn to God and seek refuge in His kingdom.

He warned against the lure of the internet, saying it extends beyond our physical world.

"Young people, turn to God. The outside world is evil. These many deaths should challenge us to return to God. We cannot just die like that. People are sacrificed to the altars they serve. It's just a sacrifice.

These are not ordinary deaths. They are told to sacrifice the people they love the most. And because of the strong powers, their cases usually end without justice," Pastor Ezekiel said.
