The events leading to Muinde’s fatal encounter unfolded with the robbery of a wholesale shop owned by Muli Munyoki, where the pastor and his accomplice, a fellow worshipper, posed as police officers investigating stolen goods. The unsuspecting shop owner was held at gunpoint while the robbers looted his store of cash and valuables. However, the swift response of nearby police officers thwarted their escape, culminating in a deadly shootout.
What shocked both the authorities and the community was the revelation of Muinde’s double life. Despite his outward role as a spiritual leader, Muinde and his accomplices operated two churches in the Matinyani area of Kitui West while orchestrating criminal activities under the cover of darkness. Their modus operandi involved exploiting their positions of trust to carry out brazen acts of robbery.

The revelation of Muinde’s true identity sent shockwaves through the community, particularly among those who had regarded him as a devout pastor. His involvement in leading praise and worship sessions and training fellow worshippers to play the piano stood in stark contrast to his criminal activities.
