There was drama in the streets of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya after a man who looked like the Biblical Jesus was spotted walking through the central business district early on Tuesday evening.

The appearance of the Jesus look-alike brought activities to a halt in the area as people rushed to embrace and snap pictures with him.

The man was dressed in a long robe with his long-hair and thick-beards and walked barefooted through the streets.

Kenyans took advantage of the opportunity on Twitter by using the hashtag #JesusInNairobi to share their excitement.
