Pastor Stephen Kiathia of Neema Christian Church in Tigania narrowly escaped death when armed robbers attacked him just meters from his church after a service. Speaking to TV47, he narrated the extraordinary moment when his Bible shielded him from a bullet allegedly fired by one of his attackers.
“Hii ni maajabu ya Mungu. Risasi ilipofyatuliwa, hii Biblia ilikuwa kwa dashboard, karibu na steering. Hio risasi iligonga hii Biblia, ikaingia karibu na Ufunuo na ikatoka kwa screen (windscreen).”
Showing a bandaged hand, he also described how a second assailant armed with a machete nearly struck his head.
“Yule alikuwa na panga wa pili, akainua akaniambia leta pesa, nikainua mkono ili nimtolee pesa. Nikazuia isinikate kwa kichwa, ikanikata hapa.”
