Pastor Ng’anga’s 40 days of fasting in Kajiado wilderness cut short in shame

Pastor James Ng’ang’a, who is facing charges of killing a woman through reckless driving and threatening journalist Linus Kaikai, is set to appear in court later today for allegedly defrauding a businessman Ksh.3.6million.

The controversial Neno Evangelism pastor James Ng’ang’a was on Thursday night arrested by detectives from his home and taken to Central Police Station where he spent the night.

A few weeks ago, the pastor was arrested after Mr Kaikai, the Director, Strategy & Innovation at Royal Media Services, filed a complaint with police over the “consequences” threat from Mr Ng’ang’a.

In a viral video released last week, the pastor, dressed in military-like fatigue and calling himself a “Chief General Commander” threatened unexplained “consequences” believed to be directed at Mr. Kaikai.

“Separate preaching na hii sarakasi za news anchor, nakwambia tu kijana. I am telling you like a Chief General Commander, you have to stop that, if you don’t stop you will face the consequences…” said Pastor Ng’ang’a.

On the case of fraud, detectives interrogated him for hours and freed him on a police bond on Friday morning.

The televangelist was charged three years ago with dangerous driving after his car crashed head-on into a Nissan March on July 26, 2015, at Manguo area in Limuru, killing Ms Mercy Njeri.

On the fateful day, the pastor’s Range Rover Sports car was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the Nakuru-Nairobi highway when the accident occurred.

According to eyewitness accounts, after the accident, the driver whom they claimed was Pastor Ng’ang’a, jumped out of the vehicle, locked it and got into another car that was behind and sped off.

Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno evangelism has been in the wilderness in Isinya Kajiado County fasting for 40 days and 40 nights to pray for Kenya and his court cases.
