Mystery Surrounds Death of a Kenyan Missionary in Venezuela
Father Josiah Asa K'Okal, a member of the Consolata Missionaries Congregation, was discovered deceased a day after he disappeared while serving in Delta Amacuro state, Venezuela.
He departed from his home without informing anyone of where he was going, leaving behind his mobile phone and crucial paperwork. Worried individuals, unable to make contact with him for an extended period, banded together to search for him. The authorities searched and eventually discovered the deceased body of the 54-year-old man hanging from a tree in a wooded region of Guara Monagas state the next day. The church issued a statement conveying their grief and seeking prayers for the soul of Father Josiah as well as solace for his family.
His body was transported to the nearby mortuary following the initiation of inquiries. Although the exact cause of his demise remains undisclosed, community members have implored law enforcement to apprehend any individuals who might have been involved. K'Okal was widely respected for his extraordinary devotion as a priest and his altruistic work as a missionary.
The Indigenous Council of Brazil (CIMI) recognized his exceptional skill in collaborating with the Waro indigenous people and his substantial contributions to Brazil. As a gesture of gratitude, his unwavering commitment to the community resulted in him being granted Venezuelan citizenship. In 1969, K'Okal was born in Siaya County, beginning his spiritual quest in 1993. He pursued his theological education in London, successfully finishing his studies and receiving ordination as a priest in 1997.
After his time in London, he was appointed to Venezuela where he devoted more than five years of his life. Over the course of his career, he assumed numerous positions, such as an administrator, council member, deputy superior, and superior of the Delegation of Consolata Missionaries to Venezuela. In 2022, K'Okal achieved a noteworthy feat by earning a master's degree in anthropology research from FLASCO in Ecuador.

I suspect foul play because Brazil is mentioned in the report. If Father K'Okal was working closely with the indigenous population who are more than likely based in the Amazon, there is the high likelihood that he was a threat to the loggers and rancheros because as an educated man, and also a Catholic Priest who probably practiced liberation theology, he was bound to unite the indigenous against their exploiters.

Consolation missionaries or “religious terrorists” are “European Based Religious Cults” like all other religious organizations in the world.
Brother K’oKal unfortunately had been hacked to become a member of this cult’s religious practices.
When will the citizens of COHO wake up and run away from these European based religious cults?
