Speaking for the church, the leadership said that it was the rising concern over the loss of church money that pushed them to secretly install secret cameras.
Muiya surprised the church as he was a regular congregant of the church.
Reports indicate that he had a habit of staying late in the church for prayers and after everybody had left would use his wire to steal from the church.
The suspect is in lawful custody and is set to be arraigned at the Murang’a law courts to face charges of burglary.
