 A 70-year-old church guard, Johnson Mukuba, was found dead inside the compound of Mount Zion SDA Church of God in Ngoni Village, Shikomari, Navakholo Sub County, Kakamega County, with his hands and legs tied with pieces of cloth. The incident was reported on Friday, September 18, 2026, after Mukuba was reportedly heard calling for help at around 2:30 a.m.
