Ms Arunga expressed her disappointment over media reports linking her to a 'cult' religious group on Thursday, during a joint press conference with the renowned musician at a Nairobi hotel.

Mr Hellon, who has been in the middle of controversy in the past few days over the religious group, defended his church, Finger of God Ministries International, as a registered church which has been running for about three years now.

"I founded it and I'm the lead pastor, where we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Bible," he said.

He said that the issue at hand was brought about by the fact that he had stopped the planned wedding between Esther Arunga and Wilson Malaba.

Mr Hellon also confirmed that Ms Arunga has been living in his house in Runda since March last year.

"Is there any problem for a 29-year-old grown up person to live wherever they wanted to live in?" asked Hellon.

Speaking at the same conference, Ms Arunga said she was deeply disappointed by the reports, especially those written by this reporter and Grace Kerongo of The Star.

"This is media stupidity and since I'm a journalist, there was no rush to do this story. I have not had any scandal in the media," she said.

She however agreed that she had been engaged to marry Wilson Malaba in April, but when she got reports that his integrity was questionable, she decided to call off the wedding.

"His finances were questionable too, where he used to get illegal money. He is under investigation now, he was kicked out of the church, and that's why I don't want anything to do with him," said Ms Arunga.

On her resigning from her job, she said that after the breaking up with Wilson, she decided to ask for two weeks off.

"But now I have resigned, mainly because I wasn't feeling that I was being paid enough and I wanted to pursue other interests as well," she said.

And, Mr Hellon explained "the reason the wedding (between Ms Arunga and Mr Walaba) was stopped was because Wilson's beliefs, practices and conduct, were contrary to what the church preaches and believes.

In fact, before the nullification of the wedding, Wilson had been removed from the church," said Mr Hellon. 

Even though Wilson was a leader of the church, Hellon added, he was not a registered member of the church. He said that since Wilson was upset by the issue, he went ahead to send him a text message, and the matter is now in court.

He said that Wilson (Malaba) had sent CID officers to his on claims that he was a drug dealer, a pimp and his church was not registered.

"My house was searched last week, computers and phones confiscated and I was arrested, spent a night at Kilimani Police Station and later arraigned in court, before getting out on bond," he said.

Right man

Meanwhile, there were reports that a new man, Quincy Timberlake, had joined the church from the UK, was now leading the church and apparently was now chosen as the right man for Arunga to marry.

"Quincy is with us. He has been my friend since childhood, he went to the UK, came back late last year and we are now doing music together," explained Hellon. "His position in church leadership and what he's up to, apart from from the fact that we are doing music together, remains nobody's business."

ESTHER ARUNGA AND JOSEPH HELLON IN A NEW CULT IN RUNDA

WITH the ongoing furore involving TV anchor Esther Arungaand saxophonist Joseph Hellon, people seem to miss out on the connecting link between the various scenarios: a publicity-hungry musician known to many as Quincy Timberlake, formerly known as Fizzle Dogg. He is right in the middle of most of the news hitting incidences that have been happening to both Hellon and Esther.

Quincy is a half cast of a Kenyan father and a South African mother. He has been a childhood friend with Hellon before they reunited in November 2009 via Facebook.

Since then, he has been living with Hellon at his (Hellon's) Runda residence.

Word Is learnt of the connection between the three through a series of emails and chats that are in our possession that shed light into the twisted dealings that led to the drama and scandal involving the three. The emails and chat sessions, which Hellon and Esther believe originated from a famous televangelist, had instructions for both of them said to be from God.

The first set of instructions demanded that Hellon promotes Quincy to a senior pastor at his Finger of God church. This led to disagreement with some members of the church and leaders, leading to a mass walkout from the church on February 11.

The second set of instructions, still from the reknown international 'miracle working' pastor, again directed at Hellon, asked that he record a single track with Quincy, which was done on February 10. The track, a Luo lingala song, was titled Ariembariemba\ (meaning 'I'm Expelling Them'). This is also the same day that Hellon's wife changed her name from Wagikuyu to Vineyard, which means "yard of sweet protection that no evil sees". On the same day as well, during a chat session with the televangelist, Hellon asks for advice on what Esther should do.

He wrote: "All the serpents are gone now and as you can see, my daughter Esther is seated at my table looking beautiful and happy. Dad, I feel she shouldn't go back to KTN and I have told her already. Kindly advice."

The reply to this was: "Tell Esther to go nowhere. That girl loves Quincy no doubt about
it."

Instructions then started trickling in for the TV personality.

On February 12, Esther had a one-on-one chat with the spiritual leader whom they refer to as their dad. Here she tells the leader that she has disowned the family.

She then asks if God wills it for Quincy to be her husband. And the answer she gets? "Only Apostle Hellon got the keys to his (Quincy) command. HE listens to nobody else, as for now Apostle Hellon should not let him know he is gonna be your husband."

With this you get the feeling that something is not right. As of now, there are no services at the Finger Of God Church because the faithful are on a 100-day fast beginning February 11, because the televangelist based in the US ordered it.

We are yet to get confirmation from the US if indeed the said televangelist is part of this scandal. We will definitely keep you posted about the unfolding drama. Or is it the biggest con
