Devil worship report that was never made public

In October 1994, President Moi formed a commission of inquiry into devil worship in Kenya but the sensitive contents of the investigation were never made public.

The late Catholic Archbishop Nicodemus Kirima chaired the commission that established devil worship was rampant in Kenya, going by views collected from Kenyans.

Sexual molestation

It was reported that satanism manifested itself in such rituals like sexual molestation of children, human sacrifice, presence of snakes and drinking of human blood.

Coming out chiefly were the claims of the use of signs, symbols like horned hand, inverted cross, pentagram and symbols of the Church of Satan.

The commission purported that the likely avenues to devil idolatry included literature and electronic medium, freemasonry, matatu culture and some churches like that of Mormons.

Some of the organisations accused dismissed the report.

Interestingly, however, was a rampant belief by many that Satanists were luring people to join the cult by leaving behind Sh500 notes.
