Kamba traditions clashed with Christianity at Katituni village when the body believed to be that of a pastor was exhumed and a sheep buried in its place.

The body, earlier believed to be that of Jonathan Mutisya Mwania, a pastor at Africa Brotherhood Church (ABC), was exhumed over the weekend under the watchful eye of Administration Police officers and chief Daniel Wambua at his Katituni home following a court order.
