Michael Job, the United States preacher and actor who recently visited Kenya as ‘Fake Jesus‘ has reportedly died just a few days after attending an interdenominational Christian event as a guest speaker.

According to a report by Kenyan Live News, ‘medics at Heyn Hospital have confirmed that Michael Job succumbed to pneumonia while receiving treatment’.

Photos and videos showing him dressed as Jesus Christ at gatherings have been widely shared on social media across Africa. He was last week deported from Kenya while authorities also arrested pastors that invited him.

He was reportedly deported only for him to come out and denied the rumour.
