In a rather bizarre incident, two men have charged in a Nairobi court for allegedly obtaining 800 bibles under false pretense.
The two appeared before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi in Milimani after they were accused of presenting a fake cheque of Ksh.920,000 to a Nairobi-based Bible translating organization as payment for the 800 bibles.
Reuben Rogoi Maina and John Mapesa Andulu reportedly obtained 300 pieces of New King James Version, 200 Good News Bibles and 300 pieces of New International Version Bibles.

Elsewhere, two people were on Monday morning killed and three others injured after a lorry transporting miraa collided with a matatu on Mwea-Embu road in Kirinyaga County.
According to witnesses, two lorries transporting miraa were overtaking each other at Nyamindi area when one of them rammed into the Neno Sacco matatu from the back. The matatu was heading to Embu from Nairobi.
Two people died on the spot while the three survivors were rushed to the Embu County Hospital by a Good Samaritan.
