Embattled city preacher Victor Kanyari sued the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters and a Milimani Magistrate Court.
He wants order freezing his bank accounts lifted, according to the Daily Nation.
The controversial Nairobi preacher was uncovered in a television exposé three years ago, for conducting fake miracles, in order to attract huge following in his church, and conning Kenyans off their money.
In a case filed December 22, through lawyer Mwakio Mwang’ombe, Kanyari claimed a CID investigating officer, Boaz Ogaga obtained the freeze order on November 21, and that no evidence was furnished before the Magistrate Court confirming that his account at Cooperative Bank, River road branch, was being used for purposes of laundering proceeds of crime.
In the expose on KTN in 2013, the man of the cloth was seen coaching some of his congregants to give testimonies of how they were healed after he prayed for them.
He appeared to be falsifying phone calls on a radio programme recorded from his house.
The 2013 expose also showed him asking his audience to send him Sh310, which he referred to as ‘seed money’, so that they could receive prayers, miracles and healing.
The case is slated for Thursday.
