Pastor’s Confession Shocks Entire Town
Faith Gospel Church in Kilgoris, Kisii on Sunday, August 2, 2025, were left in shock after a respected pastor stepped onto the pulpit, cleared his throat nervously, and made an unexpected confession that he had for months been part of a group of robbers responsible for breaking into a popular supermarket along the Kisii-Migori highway.
Church Members Left Speechless
The pastor, known by the name Reverend Moses Nyakwara, told his stunned congregation that guilt had eaten him alive and that he could no longer continue leading prayers when he knew deep down he had betrayed the very God he preached about, leaving several of his church elders blinking in disbelief and some falling to their knees.
Details Spill Like Floodwater
With his microphone in one hand and the Bible in the other, the pastor described how he was the one who disabled the alarm system during a late-night planning meeting inside the supermarket owner’s compound, claiming that he had been introduced to the robbery group by an old friend who convinced him that faith without action was dead.
Shock Turns Into Screams
By the time he mentioned that he had kept watch near the dairy fridge during the actual break-in, several women had started wailing uncontrollably and asking for the church to be cleansed, while one man shouted that the devil had truly pitched a tent at the altar without anyone realising all this time.
Attempt to Escape Backfires
After seeing the uproar his words had caused, the pastor attempted to walk out through the side door as if nothing had happened, but young men from the church blocked him and asked him to return to the pulpit and reveal the names of his accomplices, leading him to kneel and start naming people from both within and outside the town.
Community Turns Ugly
It did not take long before the story spread like bushfire, reaching supermarket staff, boda boda riders, local business owners, and even the area chief, who immediately demanded to know how someone entrusted with community guidance could be living such a double life while preaching forgiveness and righteousness on Sundays.
Reason Behind Confession
Later in the day, the pastor explained to the local assistant chief that he had confessed not because of police pressure but because something had been disturbing his mind, body, and dreams every single night, adding that he could not eat, sleep, or sit still without hearing voices urging him to return what he had stolen.
Hidden Influence Revealed
Unknown to many, the supermarket owner had secretly visited the Shaba Mangube Doctors four days after the robbery, having been told that their spiritual interventions had caused hardened criminals to confess within hours and even return money willingly without court action or police pressure.
Sudden Turn of Events
According to eyewitnesses, the pastor’s sudden urge to confess began on Saturday evening when he called the supermarket watchman and started asking strange questions about CCTV footage and insurance claims, before hanging up mid-conversation and heading to the church, where he spent the entire night on the floor.
Confession Sparks Chain Reaction
Moments after the pastor’s confession during the service, two other churchgoers stood up and admitted they too had participated in the break-in and had been receiving sleepless dreams and hallucinations that made them feel like snakes were crawling under their skin whenever they tried to spend the stolen money.
Money Recovered Miraculously
By Tuesday afternoon, the supermarket owner had already received KSh 187,000 in cash and two laptops wrapped in a gunny bag dropped quietly outside his gate, with a note that simply read forgive us we did not know that the spirit world was this real and strong.
Elderly Woman Faints from Shock
A 79-year-old church elder collapsed on the ground after hearing that some of the people she had hosted for tea in her home were the same individuals who had plotted to rob the supermarket where her own grandson worked as a shelf cleaner, causing her to scream that the devil had used kind faces.
Faith Restored in Spiritual Justice
What many residents did not understand was how the stolen items were returning faster than police could even file their reports, making people believe that there was a hidden hand at play beyond normal security systems and official investigations, one that worked in silence but with visible results.
Other Pastors Distancing Themselves
Several church leaders from neighbouring towns quickly issued statements saying that Reverend Nyakwara had acted on his own and that his behaviour did not reflect the values or teachings of true gospel servants, even as curious believers began showing up at Shaba Mangube Doctors to ask how they could get their stolen items recovered too.
The Talk of the Town
Every kiosk, petrol station, school and public vehicle in Kisii echoed the story of the confessing pastor, with some people joking that now thieves had started reporting themselves faster than victims could go to the police, a joke that turned serious when another robbery suspect turned up at the assistant chief’s office two days later.
The Role of Shaba Mangube Doctors
When contacted privately, the supermarket owner said he would recommend Shaba Mangube Doctors to anyone who had suffered theft, betrayal or fraud and wanted everything back without dirty court battles or threats, because in his own words, the universe listens when you knock on the right doors.
More money was returned, more people confessed, and what seemed like a mysterious supermarket break-in was turned into a powerful testimony of justice and restoration, without a single arrest being made.
