Pastor Nganga pays Ksh 200K bail for threatening TV boss

Founder and main preacher of Neno Evangelism Church, James Nganga, has been charged with threatening to kill Citizen TV journalist Linus Kaikai.

In a video that went viral, Pastor Nganga warned, “Separate preaching na hii sarakasi za news anchor, nakwambia tu, kijana.”

He continued,  “I am telling you like a Chief General Commander, you have to stop that; if you don’t stop, you will face the consequences…”.

The televangelist denied the charges and was released on Ksh 200,000 cash bail.

Pastor Nganga appeared before Resident Magistrate Justus Kituku at the Kiambu Law Courts on Tuesday.

Court documents detail the charges.

The two counts are:

“Uttering words that constituted as threats to kill Linus Kaikai.”

Adding, “While referring to himself as the Chief General Commander, using words that indicated or implied that it was or might be desirable to bring death or physical injury to the Citizen TV journalist.”

Pastor Nganga was arrested in Sunday at his church on Uhuru Highway after Citizen TV boss Linus Kaikai, filed a complaint with police over the “consequences” threat.

Nganga was responding to Linus’ dressdown to men and women who lead churches.

He said, “We are dealing with thieves not men of God. These are cold blooded evangelical vampires living off the blood of their flock in the name of Jesus.”

The pre-trial conference has been set for April 3, 2019.
