A Kenyan woman, Elizabeth Nalem, who got ‘married’ to the ‘Holy Spirit’ last year has been found dead.

Recall that the mother of six from Makutano town in West Pokot County, came to limelight when she ended her 20-year-marriage and married the spirit in May, 2021.

She later travelled to Amudat District in Uganda for her honeymoon and to spread the Gospel, as God ‘instructed’ her.

Kapenguria OCPD Kipkemoi Kirui, who confirmed the development on Tuesday, said that the decomposed and mutilated body of the woman was found in a forest on Saturday.

Police reports indicate that Nalem had left her home a week earlier with a panga and a walking stick headed to the forest.

The police said there is a possibility that wild animals attacked the deceased and feasted on her remains.

Kirui said investigations have been launched to establish whether she was attacked, adding that the body must have been in the bush for more than a week.

Apart from disowing her husband, Nalem had also closed her eatery and refused to go back to her town council officer job until she accomplished her mission.

“God has shown (sic) me to travel to the United States when am done with Uganda. He told me to traverse the world but I told him I won’t be able and requested him to recruit other members to help me in spreading the gospel,” she had said.

She added that her husband had pleaded with her to go back home but she had refused until her newly ‘wedded’ Spirit husband granted her permission.

“God knows how my children will eat I have left them in God’s hands.”

Woman who left her husband for holy spirit rescued by police as mob tries to attack her

Kenya Police were forced to intervene to rescue a lady by the name Elizabeth Nalem who had left her matrimonial home and ‘wedded the holy spirit’ in a bizarre ceremony.

According to the woman’s husband Joshua Nalem, Elizabath left their home to a nearby shopping centre only to be alerted by locals that the woman was ‘wedding the holy spirit’.

“One of our neighbours called me saying that she had seen my wife in a wedding gown and on my arrival, I found her exchanging vows with an unseen groom,” Joshua told K24 Digital.

After the ceremony, the lady is said to have travelled to Uganda for her honeymoon thereby deserting her matrimonial home. Her earthly husband was irked.

“Since she left, I’ve been taking care of house chores, and this is against our tradition” Joshua said.

Elizabeth is said to have returned home on Monday and was tricked to visit her home where she met an irate crowd baying for her blood for abandoning her husband. Police had to intervene to save her life.

“I returned yesterday after my honeymoon with my beloved husband the holy spirit and my friends requested me to visit my home where I almost lost my life to angry neighbours,” the lady said.

It took the police six hours to convince her to return to her matrimonial home with the husband decrying being denied his conjugal rights in the name of marriage to the holy spirit.

KENYA: WIFE DUMPS HUSBAND TO “MARRY” THE HOLY GHOST

A Kenyan man is in distress after his wife ended their marriage of 20 years to “marry” the Holy Spirit.

Joshua Nalem from Makutano village in West Pokot County was shocked after his wife, Elizabeth Nalem, pleaded with him to let her go ahead and exchange wedding vows with the Holy Spirit on Tuesday, May 25 afternoon.

Although he was against the idea, Elizabeth was hell-bent on leaving her matrimonial home and dedicating her life to the church.

“She went to church one day and when she returned she started waking up at 3 am to go and pray. I asked her why she was braving the chilly weather just to pray, but instead, she decided to move out to a neighboring homestead,” says Joshua.

After the wedding, an elated Elizabeth said she was done with serving the world and has now changed her life to serving God.

“Today, I am one of those who have received the word of God. I have faced difficulties, and it made me look for God,” Elizabeth says, adding that she had even closed her businesses.

A distraught Joshua says that he paid twenty-two (22) cattle and 15 goats for Elizabeth’s hand in marriage.

Their firstborn, he says, just completed Form Four the other day.

When asked by journalists whether he will continue living with his ‘estranged’ wife, Joshua said that he was kept in the dark during the whole process.

Although he says that he still loves Elizabeth, Joshua insists that he does not know the next course of action.
