PREACHER HID CANNABIS IN BIBLE

A Kenyan street preacher has been jailed for two years for hiding cannabis
in his Bible.

Eric Museto, who belongs to a local African church, had pleaded that he was
a first-time offender and the drug was for his own use. But Jane Ondieki, a
Nairobi magistrate, said the offence had been compounded by its blasphemous
nature. Smoking cannabis, known locally as bhang, is common in Kenya, but
is illegal.
