As Kenyans in Boston continue to process last week's ejection of a man from a pre-wedding party at the PCEA Neema Church, new details have emerged that the 911 call was made by the man's girlfriend in an attempt to serve him with a retraction order. Initial reports had indicated that the man's wife had placed the call.

However, according to reliable witnesses, the whole saga was started by the girlfriend who is embroiled in a love triangle with the man's wife.

Two reliable witnesses have informed Ajabu News that the man ejected from church was actually not an ex-husband to the woman who called the police. The witnesses, independent of each other, both confirmed that the woman (the plaintiff) sought the restraining order against the man (the defendant) as a result of using him to further her own needs.

According to the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, the plaintiff has been married and is still married to another Caucasian man in Lowell with whom she has two children. The plaintiff a few years ago decided to see if she could find a different man to sire a child with her, who would be of full Kenyan descent. She was successful. Thus was a child born to the defendant, who was already married to his bona fide Kenyan woman.

However, just recently, the plaintiff had renewed intimate relations with the defendant, and got pregnant again.

"This time, fearing unknown consequences from having two children out of wedlock, the defendant asked the plaintiff to end the pregnancy. She categorically said NO! Things heated up and the defendant threatened the plaintiff with unspecified consequences if she did not terminate the pregnancy," sources revealed.

This threat was what led the plaintiff to get a restraining order against the defendant, sources told Ajabu Africa News.

Previous attempts to serve the order on the defendant were fruitless, with the police finding a perplexed wife at the defendant's home. Because only the individual named in the order is legally allowed to receive it, the defendant's wife was not given the order by the police.

It was against this backdrop that when the defendant spotted the plaintiff show up at a pre-wedding party in the company of his real wife, she immediately sensed an opportunity to have the police serve the restraining order. "She went to for it--she called Lowell police right away to serve the paperwork as the pre-wedding progressed--shocking all guests to the core!" our source added.

It was not immediately clear if the defendant has plans to marry two wives as polygamy has recently become legalized in Kenya.

At the same time, new reports indicate that there have been two more police ejections at the same church in the last year involving similar love.

According to reliable eye witness sources, a man was ejected from the Neema church this past summer last when his girlfriend allegedly called police to enforce a restraining order when she saw the ex-boyfriend come in to attend the Sunday service.

Around July last year, sources say that Lowell police responded to a call from another female parishioner who had a similar restraining order on her ex-husband, who attended the same church together with her, in an effort to get him ejected for being too close against stipulations of domestic protection orders.

Sources revealed that love triangles are not uncommon at the largest Kenyan community church in New England, resulting in friction that has forced authorities to respond.

Reached by Ajabu Africa News for comment, the church pastor, Dr. Mumbui declined to respond citing church policy of not commenting on pastoral matters.

"We don't comment on any pastoral matters going on in the church," said the pastor.

The precedent for police intervention at the church occurred seven years ago when in July 2011, Lowell police were summoned by a church elder to arrest two parishioners for alleged disruption of church service. The parishioners were accused of loudly protesting against the pastor, Rev. Karimi, who had been defrocked by the then affiliated church body, Presbyterian Church of New England (PNNE) after the church court found him guilty of alleged sexual malfeasance against a young female parishioner.

The two parishioners, Stephen Gichure and Daniel Kibui were locked up for a day then released on bail pending a civil suit that was eventually dropped when the state prosecutor declined to prosecute, entering a nolle prosequi order. (Watch Video Recap below).

After a protracted legal battle against the PNNE, Pastor Karimi and a large number of worshipers decided to break away from the presiding New England church, to form the new PCEA Neema church, which is now affiliated to the Presbyterian Church of East Africa.

However, despite the move, drama has not abated from the church which has seen significant growth in membership and purchase of a new church building located at 201 Coburn Street in Lowell.

The recent police ejections have caused Kenyans in the region to express outrage that some worshippers at Neema have been using the church as a social forum to settle scores from love triangles gone wrong. Sources said the plaintiff is a member of Neema church while the defendant is not.
