Alicia Kanini, a rising social media figure known for her presence on TikTok and OnlyFans, has once again ignited public outrage after posting an explicit video that went viral. What was intended as digital content for her growing subscriber base has exploded into a national debate about youth influence, morality, legality, and spirituality in modern Kenya.

One of the loudest voices demanding action is Geoffrey Mosiria, a concerned public figure who labeled her behavior as a direct threat to Kenya’s moral fabric. He went further to declare her content as obscene under the country’s laws and called for authorities to act in protecting vulnerable youths from digital exploitation and psychological degradation.

A Pastor’s Unconventional Intervention

As condemnation poured in from various corners of the internet, a different kind of voice entered the conversation—Pastor George Anyul from Kisumu. Rather than throwing stones, Anyul extended what he describes as a “spiritual hand” to Kanini. In his statement, he noted that Alicia is a young woman “in her prime” who needs counseling and prayer, not vilification.

“I don’t know her parents, but I believe she has relatives. They should come in and guide this beautiful girl,” he said. His tone was more sympathetic than angry, emphasizing redemption over punishment.

Pastor Anyul believes the TikToker may be under demonic influence, a claim that has sparked as much controversy as Kanini’s content. He publicly invited her to his Holy Christ Power Church in Kisumu, alongside Apostle Wycliffe Okinyi, for a special session of prayer and deliverance. According to him, many young women are being spiritually manipulated through social media fame and financial gain, unknowingly becoming tools of darkness.

Mosiria’s Stand: Law Must Take Its Course

Geoffrey Mosiria wasn’t buying the spiritual defense. In a strongly worded statement, he condemned not just Kanini but also her audience—those who continue to consume and promote her content. He warned that such exposure can normalize explicit behavior and erode the value systems of young Kenyans, especially teenage girls.

His concern isn't merely cultural—it’s legal. According to Mosiria, Kanini's actions fall squarely under the Kenyan constitution’s definition of obscenity, which could potentially carry criminal charges. He demanded that authorities intervene and use the law to set a precedent in digital accountability.

Kanini’s Defense: “I Know God Too”

In a twist that only deepened the controversy, Alicia Kanini responded to the outrage by reaffirming her belief in God. In an Instagram story, she claimed that her relationship with God is personal and strong—insisting that her content should not be used as a barometer of her spirituality. She denied claims that she’s seeking controversial collaborations with men, calling such reports fake and intentionally misleading.

Kanini also dismissed the rising pressure to stop her online work, stating she’s merely expressing herself and building a career through platforms available to her.

Kenya’s Bigger Problem: Who Guides the Youth?

This scandal has cracked open a deeper national question: who is responsible for guiding Kenya’s youth in the age of unfiltered content, viral fame, and personal branding?

Pastor Anyul says it’s the family and the church. Mosiria says it’s the law. Alicia says it’s her own right to choose, as long as her conscience is clear.

In a country grappling with digital transformation and rising youth unemployment, Alicia Kanini’s case is more than just a morality tale. It’s a reflection of a society caught between conservative tradition and radical freedom—and struggling to find the balance.
