Augustine Wanyoni, who was arraigned at Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi, is said t have on November 29, 2021, at Naivas Supermarket Development House along Moi Avenue in Nairobi stole two Revised Standard bibles worth Ksh1840.
According to a police report, Wanyoni entered the supermarket at around 7:00 pm where he acted as a client before stealing the Holy books.
“He picked two Revised Standard bibles valued at Ksh920 each,” the report read in part.
