Tanzania detains 'drinking and kissing pastor'
Police in Tanzania have detained a controversial self-proclaimed
prophet after a video of him emerged dancing with bottles of beer and
declaring that the Bible allows drinking and fornication.
A
medical check-up showed that 44-year old Onesmo Machibya, commonly known
as Prophet Tito, was mentally ill, said Gilles Muroto, the police
commander in the capital, Dodoma.
Mr Machibya or his representatives have not yet commented.
The
viral footage also shows the self-styled prophet dancing and kissing
his wife and a maid, saying it is OK to sleep with maids.
Police
accuse him of handing out leaflets in various entertainment venues and
bars in Dodoma, and promoting beliefs that contradict Tanzanian culture
and ethics.
