Kenyan prophetess Lucy Nduta, who is a self-proclaimed AIDS healer, was produced before court on charges of allegedly obtaining money (Sh1.6 million) from six people after telling them that they would be cured of HIV/AIDS through prayers.

According to The East African Standard, Margaret Muigai, Nairobi's Principal Magistrate, denied her bail and said that: "She has a constitutional right, but police officers are entitled to investigate the new complaints."

Nduta has said she is not guilty and claimed her prayer cure was not fake.

She has also argued that she never took any money in her practice, report said.
