A fresh wave of reactions has followed a viral video showing followers of Kilifi-based preacher Ezekiel Odero rushing to collect soil where he had stepped during a church gathering.
The incident happened during what appeared to be an outdoor crusade. In the footage, the preacher is seen walking slowly across a muddy area while surrounded by tight security. Behind him, a group of congregants move quickly, trying to reach the ground he had walked on.
Some bend down to scoop soil with their hands. Others push forward, struggling to get closer. The scene becomes chaotic as people compete for the same spot, believing the soil carries spiritual power.
Ezekiel, dressed in his usual white outfit, continues walking while making declarations. He does not stop as the crowd follows closely. The moment ends when he returns to a tented area, leaving some members still searching the ground.
The video has sparked debate across social media platforms. Many users expressed concern over the actions of the congregants. Some questioned the level of influence religious leaders have on their followers. Others showed sympathy, saying people are simply looking for hope in difficult times.
This is not the first time the preacher has attracted public attention. In recent months, his church activities have often gone viral. Earlier, he caused debate after using water during prayer sessions, where congregants reacted strongly at the altar.
