According to trial magistrate Robinson Ondieki, Deya did not participate in child stealing as by t he time the crime is said to have happened in 2004, he was in the United Kingdom.
He further stated that the prosecution did not adduce sufficient evidence to connect the evangelist with the criminal charges.
The magistrate further said the despite his wife Mary Juma being charged with a similar offense, she was as well acquitted by a Kibera court
The accused through his lawyer John Swaka pointed out to the court that it was upon the prosecution to tender sufficient evidence despite using huge resources in getting Deya from the UK using an extradition order
