Pastor Kanyari Cries Foul Once Again Over Custody Drama Of His Children

Controversial Kenyan preacher Victor Kanyari has broken his silence regarding the custody of his children, Sky and Danny, dropping a bombshell accusation against their stepfather.

The Salvation Healing Ministry founder revealed that he has been entirely cut off from his children, pointing fingers directly at Hiram Gitau, alias Tash—the widower of Kanyari’s late ex-wife, gospel star Betty Bayo.

A Heartbreaking Father’s Day

While fathers across the country celebrated their families, Kanyari expressed immense heartbreak, claiming he has been left completely in the dark regarding his children’s current whereabouts.

“This Father’s Day is one of the saddest days of my life,” a pained Kanyari disclosed. “While many fathers are celebrating with their children, I continue to live with the pain of being denied access to mine. I have not been able to see them, and I do not know where they are. I believe their stepfather has played a role in keeping them away from me.”

The Brewing Family Drama

Kanyari’s remarks have added fuel to an already blazing fire. Over the past week, the family has been thrust into the spotlight following a public fallout involving Betty Bayo’s best friend, Shiru Stewart.

Shiru—who hosted the children in the UK for the December holidays—sparked intense online reactions when she fiercely called out Tash. She accused him of withholding money that Sky had earned from various brand endorsements. However, Sky later stepped forward to refute those specific financial claims.

Public Scrutiny Intensifies

The unfolding drama has reopened conversations surrounding the children’s welfare following the tragic passing of Betty Bayo.

• The Backlash: Immediately after Bayo’s death, a section of Kenyans online voiced concerns that Tash was not fit to raise the children alone.

• The Shift: At the time, Shiru Stewart vigorously defended Tash against internet critics. However, her recent public fallout with him, combined with Kanyari’s emotional custody claims, has thrown the family dynamic into complete turmoil.
