A woman in Juja Constituency, Kiambu County was on Saturday arrested after being accused of being a fake miracle worker.
Residents of the area have been complaining to the Gikumari chief, Joseph Ntwiga about a woman who has been cheating them and swindling them of their hard earned money.
The woman is said to walk around with a small frog, cow horns and goat skin which she all keeps in a tiny bottle and convinces the residents that she can perform miracles. The residents said the woman comes to their homes to offer them her services and later on plants her creatures in different parts of their homesteads convincing them that she has supernatural powers.
After a while, in this case, a couple of days, the lady would come back to collect her creatures as well as the evil spirits that her creatures collected and then charges her clients a total of Sh50,000 for her so-called cleansing services.
Ntwiga has now warned residents of the area to be cautious of such people in the society so that they are not easily duped into giving out money or their belongings in the name of getting cleansed.
The suspect is now being held at the Ruiru Police Station and will be arraigned in court once the police have finalised the investigations.
