Police in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, say they are searching for a church warden who is suspected of taking 1.5 million shillings ($12,400) that parishioners had raised for the church’s development.
On the outskirts of Nairobi in Kangemi, the ACK All Saints Mountain View church edifice was broken into, according to police.
Then he removed the cash from the altar’s interior drawer.
The treasurer of the building and a member of the congregation was “surprised and shocked” on Monday morning. They had come to collect the sizeable proceeds of the collection and discovered the interior of the church ransacked. The money was gone.
In a statement, the Criminal Investigation Department said their initial investigations indicated that the church caretaker was the main suspect at the moment.
“He is suspected of tampering with the power supply in order to disable the CCTV system installed before stealing the contributions of the faithful.
