Revelations surface regarding the pastor and devout worshipper behind a violent robbery at Kavisuni market in Kitui, shedding light on their unexpected double lives as preachers by day and criminals by night.

Ezekiel Muinde Mwangangi, the pastor at Heaven City Chapel in Soweto, Kitui, and overseer of a branch in Kauma Market, stands at the center of this shocking narrative.

Last week, Mwangangi and an unidentified accomplice orchestrated a robbery at a wholesale shop, posing as police officers before executing the heist at gunpoint.

When law enforcement intervened, a dramatic confrontation ensued. Mwangangi was fatally shot, while his partner escaped with injuries.

Investigations unveiled the intricate planning behind the robbery, exposing Mwangangi's duplicitous nature. Hailing from Tiva village, he led a seemingly normal life with his wife, employed by a leading supermarket chain.

The robbers’ modus operandi included deceiving a friend into lending them a motorcycle under false pretenses, a vehicle they exploited for their criminal endeavor.

Chief Cyrus Kitwai Malombe expressed astonishment at Mwangangi's dual persona, noting his active involvement in church activities prior to the revelation of his criminal exploits.

Despite his role as a community leader, Mwangangi's sinister intentions remained concealed until the robbery unfolded, leaving residents grappling with the dissonance between his public image and clandestine activities.

The Kitui County Director of Criminal Investigations, Eng Samuel Bett, disclosed that police officers were unaware of the robbers' guise as pastors during the initial encounter, underscoring the shocking nature of their deception.

As investigations continue, community members have provided invaluable assistance, aiding authorities in unraveling the truth behind Mwangangi's criminal enterprise.

The revelation of Mwangangi's involvement serves as a cautionary tale, prompting a reevaluation of trust and perception within the community, as they come to terms with the unsettling reality of a pastor turned robber.
