Police in the Kenyan capital say they are looking for a church caretaker suspected of stealing 12,400 US Dollars which members had raised to develop the church.
Police accuse the man of breaking into the ACK All Saints Mountain View church in Kangemi, on the outskirts of Nairobi, and taking the money from a drawer at the altar.
A church elder and the treasurer were shocked when they went in last evening to collect the money, only to find the church ransacked and the money missing, police said.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations said their initial investigations pointed to the church caretaker as the main suspect.
He is suspected to have tampered with the church’s electric power to disable the installed CCTV system before making away with the congregants’ contributions, they said. END.
