Omosh One Hour Calls Out Prophet Over Raila Odinga Resurrection Prophecy

Shadrack Omondi Orwa, popularly known as Omosh One Hour, has criticized a self-proclaimed prophet who claimed that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga would rise from the dead. The prophecy, which quickly went viral, sparked both hope and disbelief among Kenyans mourning Raila’s passing.
The prophet, identified as Osindi, announced that Raila would resurrect just days after his death. He insisted that it would not be a symbolic or spiritual resurrection but a real miracle expected to occur on Sunday, October 19.
What Did the Prophet Claim About Raila’s Resurrection?
In his public declaration, Osindi confidently stated that the ODM leader would rise alongside his late father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, and son Fidel Castro Odinga.
“The news I bring to you is that Raila will not be buried. I repeat, Raila will not be buried. He will wake up, he will rise up, he will resurrect together with others who died with him, one by one, and that is how people will know the scriptures do not lie,” the prophet said.
His message spread widely online, attracting both followers who believed in a divine miracle and critics who viewed it as pure sensationalism.
How Did Omosh React After Raila Did Not Rise?
A firm supporter of Raila, Omosh admitted that he initially believed in Osindi’s prophecy and waited eagerly for the miracle to happen. However, when Raila was laid to rest and no resurrection occurred, his faith in the prediction quickly faded.
In a video shared on his social media pages, Omosh expressed his disappointment and frustration.
“You, old man who said that Raila would rise from the dead. I have been waiting since the time that Raila was interred. I have been waiting, and he has yet to come back to life,” Omosh said. “You made us have so much hope. I have had hope. This is now the time that I believe that he is no more.”
His reaction echoed the feelings of many Kenyans who had followed the bizarre prophecy with curiosity and skepticism. While some mocked the prophet for misleading followers, others sympathized with Omosh’s emotional response, understanding the depth of grief among Raila’s loyal supporters.
The incident has since reignited discussions on the growing number of self-proclaimed prophets in Kenya and the impact of religious sensationalism on vulnerable believers.
