A congregation was shocked after a man confessed he has been selling samosas made from dog meat.
Mr Samuel Waweru said has been in the business in Eldoret town for more than a year now.
He said whenever he got an opportunity, he would slaughter the mongrels to prepare his samosas.
He further testified that he operated his business at the town’s Central Business District and earned a substantial income to cater for his family of six.
Waweru gave his testimony at Divine Holiness Church in Eldoret during a lunch hour service.
He also pleaded with the congregation to pray for him so that God may forgive him.
"I am a sinner. The devil lured me into killing and slaughtering dogs without the knowledge of the residents and even my family," he said.
Waweru even cited a recent incident in which a car hit and killed a dog.
Stray dogs
"I told the people who found me at the scene that I was throwing the carcass to avoid it from rotting on the road," he said.
But he went ahead and cut up the carcass at night and made samosas during the day.
"My customers ate and some even told me it was delicious without knowing it was dog meat," he said.
Stray dogs loitering the streets at night, he said, had been his source of meat for a long time.
"I usually carry a heavy metal in the evening. I would then befriend a dog with little food before hitting it hard on its head," Waweru revealed.
Pastor Joseph Tonui prayed for him and advised him against such a sinful trade.
Lunch hour services are held in many corners of Eldoret town.
And the sale of samosas is common at the verandas of buildings, especially in the evening as residents return home from work.
But the consumers know little about what they consume along the streets.
