A security guard at the SDA church in Saba Saba, Mombasa County, has confessed to stealing 17 bedsheets worth Sh5,100. He blamed Satan for the act.
Stephen Manguti said he was overcome with the temptation to steal the bedding because he was poor.
Manguti told Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku that the bedsheets had been donated to the poor and he took them because he qualified.
"I have worked at the church for some time and l have never stolen from the church since l fear God.
"However, it was only this time round that l fell for Satan's trap and took away the bedsheets for my own use," said Manguti in his mitigation.
Manguti begged the court for leniency and said that he only committed the act, since the bedsheets had been donated to the church to be shared to the poor in the society.
The matter will be mentioned on September 9.
