A Kenyan man identified as Augustine Wanyonyi has been busted for stealing two bibles from a municipal supermarket and his defense is amazing.
He appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi and defended that he developed suicidal thoughts hence wanted to learn more about God and his words which led him to steal the Bibles.
According to him, he had a firm faith that the word of God would break his bondage after State Counsel Alice Mathangani read a police statement in court revealing that he went to Naivas Supermarket on Moi Avenue in Nairobi on Monday, January 30th, around 3:00 pm and stole two bibles and hid it inside his pants.
Reports suggest that he was caught on a CCTV camera on the premises and was arrested after refusing to pay more for the product.
Court documents disclosed that the 30-year-old man developed suicidal thoughts after a fire engulfed his home in the Mukuru Njenga slum.
When asked why he stole two bibles he asserted that he wanted to give one to his wife and use the other.
He said, “I stole the Bible so that I could read, understand and preach the word of God instead of committing suicide due to problems I’m facing”
