Police on Monday arrested the 41-year-old woman from West Pokot County who abandoned her husband of 20 years to ‘marry’ the Holy Spirit last week.
The mother of six was reportedly arrested after her husband complained that she had neglected her children but was released hours later.
A local cleric Albert Rumaita who presided over the wedding bought Mrs Elizabeth Nalem a wedding gown and also funded the event, including hiring vehicles that drove her to the church.
Last week, Mrs Nalem said she had served the world for a long time claiming that the Holy Spirit had now directed her to serve the Lord.
Her husband, Joshua Nalem said he had paid dowry of 15 goats and 22 cattle and was confused on what step to take next.
Mr Nalem said their tribulations started when the wife started waking up very early in the morning to pray, and on enquiring, she would run away at a neighbour’s place where she would spend the night.
