Nairobi – Le diocèse de Lodwar, dans la vallée du Rift, à l’ouest du lac Turkana, a mis en garde les fidèles contre la présence d’un faux prêtre qui, au regard du droit canonique, a célébré illicitement des messes et administré des sacrements.Se présentant sous le nom de père Jones Bogonko Onchonga, M.C., cet homme est en réalité un laïc vivant à Kisii, marié et père de deux enfants. Le communiqué du diocèse est accompagné de deux photos du faux prêtre, sur l’une desquelles il apparaît en soutane.Le communiqué du 16 août, signé par John Mbinda et le père Joseph Ebenyo, respectivement Évêque et chancelier du diocèse de Lodwar, précise qu’Onchonga « a feint d’administrer les sacrements , a célébré des offices non autorisés , a usurpé une charge ecclésiastique et a falsifié des documents ecclésiastiques ».Après avoir été interrogé par la police, Onchonga a avoué s’être fait passer pour un prêtre pendant près de deux ans. Il est arrivé à Lodwar en 2025 muni de documents l'identifiant comme prêtre des Missionnaires de la Charité . Selon la police, Onchonga n'a jamais fréquenté de séminaire catholique et n'a jamais reçu de formation en philosophie ou en théologie. Il a appris par lui-même la liturgie et le déroulement des offices religieux à l'aide de livres. Il a en effet été trouvé en possession de 17 ouvrages de doctrine ecclésiastique qu’il utilisait pour étudier divers sujets, notamment l’histoire de l’Église, les procédures de célébration du culte et l’administration des sacrements. Il est désormais accusé d’usurpation d’identité, en vertu de l’article 382 du Code pénal, et s’il est reconnu coupable, il risque une peine pouvant aller jusqu’à trois ans d’emprisonnement.
