Detectives from Kangemi police station in Dagoretti have launched a manhunt for a suspect who broke into ACK All Saints Mountain View Church and made away with over Sh1.5 million.
The money, that was raised yesterday (Sunday) for the church’ development, had been kept in a drawer at the church altar.
Church elder John Wainaina and Treasurer Elizabeth Njoki were shocked to find the doors ajar when they went to collect the money today morning.
A closer look at the Lord’s Table where bread and wine are consecrated, they were shocked to find it ransacked and the money that had been kept in a drawer beneath the altar missing.
They immediately reported the matter at Kangemi police station and upon preliminary investigations, it was established that the caretaker of the church one George Mburu who has since gone missing, was responsible for the loss.
The suspect who resided within the church compound is suspected to have tampered with the electric power to disable the installed CCTV system before making away with the congregants’ contributions.
Shocked faithful who reside close to the church milled around conversing in low tones, as they tried to come to terms with the disappearance of the money meant for the development of the community church.
