Gilbert Deya, who has a cult-like following was accused of stealing the so called “miracle babies” and was charged with child trafficking but his wife Eddah (also known as Mary Deya) took the fall.

She was jailed together with Rose Atieno Kiserem a former pastor at Deya Ministries who upon her release revealed that the ‘miracle babies’ were  “a hoax created by the Deyas and their accomplices to deceive me and other God-fearing people”
