Saturday, July 26, 2025 - Shock and disbelief gripped congregants of a local church after a man confessed to stealing a church speaker and crosses in a desperate attempt to secure a soft loan from a shylock.
According to reports, the suspect gained unauthorized
access to the church by jumping through a window in the dead of
night.
Acting on intelligence, the church members,
accompanied by police officers, tracked down the thief and arrested him.
The speaker was allegedly handed over to a loan dealer who
accepted it as collateral.
However, the man had not yet disposed of the crosses, which
he claimed were still “safe.”
“I took the speaker to a shylock to secure a soft
loan of Ksh 1,500. But I am still in possession of the crosses,” he
confessed, leaving the church members stunned.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions, with many
questioning the ethics of shylocks accepting stolen property as
collateral, and others lamenting the level of desperation pushing individuals
to target even sacred places.
