Montego Bay ‘Cult Pastor’ Kevin O. Smith Dies In Car Crash, Dancehall Entertainers React
Following the car crash this morning which led to the death of Pastor Kevin O. Smith, the man at the epicenter of the recent bizarre human sacrifice saga in Montego Bay, members of the Dancehall fraternity have reacted to the passing of the clergyman.
According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Smith was being transferred from Montego Bay to Kingston by police officers, to face murder and other charges, linked to the religious ritual in which two people were killed at his church the Pathways International Kingdom Restoration Ministries in Montego Bay on Sunday, October 17.
Reports from the Jamaica Constabulary Force are that a police officer also perished in the crash, which happened along the Bog Walk bypass in St Catherine, the home parish of the pastor at about 9:30 this morning.
Controversial music selector Foota Hype, was among the first to take to Instagram to pour skepticism on what transpired, questioning whether or not the pastor’s demise was staged.
“I have one question for the class today: why was the so-called dead pastor wearing a mask the whole time?’ he asked his followers on Instagram before taking to YouTube to do a live feed in which he questioned the sequence of events and said the entire scenario appeared ‘shady’.

There were some artists, like the general public, who had likened the events involving the pastor to a Netflix series, as according to them, never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that human sacrifices and the ensuing shenanigans, would be a reality in Jamaica.
“Den a suh di show dun?” Mr Lexx quipped on ZJ Sparks IG page where the news of the crash was posted. He later posted a doctored photo of the pastor on his own IG page and made his skepticism known noting: “New passport pic loading…..
🚶🏾♂️Whistle and walks away.”

For his part, JaFrass, commenting on The Star tabloid’s IG page noted: “Right now #squidgame nuh have nothing over this yah movie yah”, while producer Teflon Zincfence had a quip of his own noting: “Jamaica start early today” before adding: “God Expose him & Satan took him out ‼️#demons a travel with him #DEEP.”
ZJ Sparks pointed to the ominousness of the number nine, which appeared to be a favorite number of Smith’s based on his frequent use of the numbers ‘999’ in his Facebook posts.
“What are the odds? The accident took place on CHURCH ROAD in St Catherine, the parish he is from. He dies on the 9th day after the incident, 9 sumn inna di mawnin wid approx 9 officers who were a part of the team transporting him to Kgn,” she said.

The drama involving smith unfolded two Sundays ago when a joint team of Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) soldiers and police officers stormed the church at about 7 o’ clock that evening, after they reportedly received information that the religious cult was in the process of sacrificing some of its members.
Upon infiltrating the premises, the security forces were reportedly shot at by members of the religious cult. When the gunfire ended, the soldiers and police searched the building and found the body of a woman clad in white, who had been sacrificed, lying face down with her throat slashed, allegedly by a member of the church.
Additional reports are that a male member of the church was also discovered lying suffering from stab and gunshot wounds to his back, and reportedly said that he was shot and stabbed by the pastor. The man reportedly told the security forces that he was about to be sacrificed by the religious cult.
In addition to the two church members who were killed, a third man who attacked the security forces with a knife was shot dead.
A male member of the church who allegedly attacked the lawmen with a knife was shot dead by the security forces, while Smith was taken into custody along with a bevy of female members of the church and their male counterparts.
