Lilongwe – Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Prophetess Mary Bushiri have been granted bail by a Malawi court this afternoon after handing themselves over to police in Area 30, Lilongwe, Malawi yesterday.

Magistrate Nyimba, sitting in Lilongwe Magistrates court ordered the immediate release of the leaders of Enlightened Christian Gathering Church.

Speaking to ECG News Online, head of legal services Terrance Baloyi told this publication that, “my colleagues have told me that the arrest itself may have been unlawful”.

Prophet Bushiri and Prophetess Mary escaped to Malawi to preserve their lives after credible attempts to kill them in South Africa.

The duo will remain in Lilongwe while fighting for their justice.
