A shoe shiner on Monday stunned a court after he said that President Uhuru Kenyatta will die in eight days. Wilson Mwangi Macharia who looked composed stood in the dock told magistrate Z Abdul that he is sure of the President's death as he was told by the 'holy spirit'. "I am not on medication the holy spirit spoke to me," said Macharia. The prosecution was forced to ask the court to allow them to conduct further medical tests on Macharia. According to court records, Macharia was arrested last month after he was seen with a placard bearing inscriptions: "Uhuru will die if he fails to call god through us before March 19, 2019."
