Just a few hours after Kenyans learned about the sudden death of Ruth Matete’s husband who has been fighting for his life in the hospital a few hours ago, another bad news has since been shared online.
The head of Legio Maria Pope Romanus Ong’ombe has died.
The head of Legio Maria (an African Independent Church predominantly found in Luo regions), Pope Romanus Ong’ombe has sadly passed away under unclear circumstances.
The cause of Pope Romanus Ong’ombe’s sudden death has not been shared by the Church or member of his family yet to the public.
His body has been taken to Ombo Mission Hospital in Migori.

Before his passing, Legio Maria Pope Romanus Ong’ombe buried the hatchet with his longtime nemesis Pope Raphael Adika.
In a meeting held at St. Michael Mapera Church in Migori County on Tuesday, Pope Romanus Ongombe and his longtime nemesis Pope Raphael Adika ended the heightened tension that nearly led to the collapse of the religious sect.
“I called my brother after realizing that the church was going the wrong direction. We have to remain united in this service because our differences don’t mean good for the church,” said Pope Romanus Ong’ombe.
“Such minor differences have led to serious divisions in the past and we would not want to take that direction. God does not accept divisions so we’ve got to remain united.”
