I guess this guy just thought everyone would believe these babies were all just
"magicked" into existence from prayer. What a maroon... Hope they find all of
them and get them back to their parents, though I'm guessing that will be
unlikely. :-(

'Miracle baby' pastor held in UK
Kenyan evangelist Gilbert Deya, accused of child trafficking, faces deportation
after his arrest in Scotland this week.
Mr Deya denies accusations that he ran a child trafficking ring on the pretext
of praying for his followers to conceive via miraculous powers.
Reports say Mr Deya was arrested at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court, where he had
gone to assist with a paternity case.
An official there reportedly recognised him as the wanted man. He is now in the
custody of UK immigration officials.
Police in Kenya had issued a warrant of arrest for him after his wife, Mary, was
arrested in Nairobi in September and charged with involvement in child
trafficking.
She was arrested after she arrived at a hospital with a newborn baby to which
she claimed to have given birth.
Doctors who examined Mrs Deya, 57, said her claim of recently having given birth
was false.
Extradition request
Kenyan police allege the Gilbert Deya Ministries is an international
baby-snatching ring and last year asked the UK government to extradite Mr Deya.
They say their investigation revolves around the disappearance of babies from
Nairobi's Pumwani Maternity Hospital and involves suspects in Britain, Ghana,
Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya.
In 2004, the Kenyan authorities took 20 of Mr Deya's "miracle babies" into care
after they were found to have no genetic link to the women claiming to be their
mothers.
