The threat of witchcraft has scared looters into returning goods they stole during unrest which followed last month's disputed Kenyan elections.
TV stations broadcast pictures of people returning to places they robbed in the coastal city of Mombasa carrying beds, sofas and other items.
A police commander confirmed the reports and said the rumours of witchcraft had made his job "easy".
One woman said the curse had prevented people from going to the toilet.
"I am telling the truth. I am not lying. There are some people who are not able to pass urine nor faeces," she told Kenyan broadcaster NTV.
Other looters attributed "mystery" illnesses to the curse.
