A priest who allegedly attempted to pass off a ruined love affair as a robbery incident has been charged with giving false information.
Mr Meshack Zedi Shiundu, a priest at Nyamasaria church in Kisumu, appeared naked at Mumias Police Station on Wednesday to report that he had been robbed.
He was later arraigned before Mumias senior resident magistrate Hazel Wandera who released him on a cash bail of Sh10,000.
Report time
According to the police, the accused arrived at the station at about 1am panting to report having been robbed of his car, Sh1,500 in cash, mobile phone valued at Sh8,000 and a watch all valued at Sh409,500.
Police investigations revealed the priest was on a drinking spree at a popular bar in Mumias Town before a barmaid he had fallen for led him to her house.
He is said to have been found by another man who threw him out before the man of the cloth walked without clothes for about one kilometre to the police station to report a fake robbery.
