A fatal attack on a Nairobi church has left one worshiper dead and a preacher injured.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim was stabbed by a gang outside Shekinah Pentecostal Church in Makongeni Estate as they made their escape after raiding the church.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, which occurred around 5am on Friday.
‘It was around 5am when the thugs stormed the church. Worshipers who were attending ‘kesha’ were caught by surprise. They stabbed one person as they were escaping with what they stole from the church,’ said a source who spoke to Nairobi News.
The gang made off with an unknown amount of money and other church instruments, leaving behind a trail of destruction.
Police have recorded statements from the night guards at the church and are working to establish the full extent of the theft.
