“Miracle Babies” Preacher Gilbert Deya Dies in Horrific Kisumu Road Crash.

Kenya is reeling after the shocking death of controversial preacher Gilbert Deya, famous for the notorious “miracle babies” saga, in a catastrophic road accident on the Kisumu–Bondo Highway earlier today.

Crash Details & Eyewitness Reports

  • Eyewitnesses confirm at least one fatality—identified as Gilbert Deya—and multiple injuries, including other passengers and motorists caught in the collision .

From Miracle Claims to Tragic End
