Renowned Kenyan cleric, Prophet Samuel Omulo, popularly known as Prophet Owuor, has come out strongly to refute reports that he recently traveled to India for knee surgery.
In a statement shared with local media on Monday, the prophet described the claims as “false and misleading,” emphasizing that he has not undergone any medical procedures abroad.
He noted that his recent absence from public engagements was due to routine personal rest and not any health-related emergency.

“These stories being circulated are entirely untrue. I remain in good health and continue with my ministry work here in Kenya,” Prophet Owuor said.
The rumors first surfaced last week when a few online platforms suggested that the prophet had traveled to India for specialized orthopedic surgery.
These claims caused a flurry of concern among his followers, who flooded his official social media channels seeking clarification.
Prophet Owuor is widely known across Kenya and beyond for his prophetic ministry and large-scale healing crusades. Over the years, his appearances have drawn thousands, often sparking media attention whenever his health or movements are speculated upon.
Observers say the rapid spread of the story highlights the growing influence of social media in shaping narratives, especially around public figures. Analysts urge followers to verify such reports directly from official sources before sharing them widely.
In the wake of this clarification, many of Prophet Owuor’s supporters have expressed relief and reaffirmed their trust in him. His spokesperson has also called on media houses to exercise caution and avoid publishing unverified claims.
As Kenya’s public figures continue to face scrutiny both online and offline, Prophet Owuor’s clarification serves as a reminder of the need for responsible reporting and the importance of separating fact from rumor in today’s fast-paced news environment.
