Pastor James Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism Arrested for Defrauding Businessman of Sh3.6 Million

Controversial televangelist James Maina Ng'ang'a spent Thursday night at Central Police Station in Nairobi.

The Neno Evangelism preacher was arrested at his home in Nairobi on Thursday evening for allegedly defrauding a businessman of Sh3.6 million.

Pastor Ng'ang'a has been released on Friday morning on a police bond and is set to appear in court later in the day.

Last month, the clergyman was arrested and charged with threatening to kill Citizen TV journalist Linus Kaikai.

This came after he released a video warning Kaikai that he would face unknown consequences for suggesting that the government should regulate the church and tame rogue preachers.

He was also charged with incitement to violence and was released on Sh200,000 cash bail or Sh300,000 bond after denying the charges.

"Wewe kijana wachana na mambo zako… na kama umeingia laini ya Pastor Ng’ang’a, my friend you will face the consequences…wewe utakimbia tu (Young man, stop your nonsense. If you’ve decided to cross Pastor Ng’ang’a’s line, my friend you will face the consequences. You will have to run),” the preacher tells Kaikai in the viral video.

“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…” adds Pastor Ng’ang’a.
