It was March 1995 on a Wednesday, just after midnight. Mike Rua lay awake, waiting for his mother to fall asleep. When he was sure everybody was sleeping, he stealthily sneaked out of the house, walking close to 3km to the church. His mother was the church custodian, and Rua had ‘borrowed’ the keys from her bag.
"Scared out of my wits, but still determined, I groped in the dark, using the benches and walls to make my way into the church’s music room. I fumbled with the keys and opened the door to the room. When I held and finally strung the church guitar in my back, I felt a whole new sense of beginning," he adds. The controversial singer had just started a new life. He had managed to get what he always wanted.

Police in Mwanza, Tanzania, have arrested a Kenyan on allegations of attempting to sell a fellow Kenyan who is an albino.
