It is no secret that some men and women of God in Nairobi city are embroiled in controversies.
These men and women of God despite doing the work of the Almighty have found themselves in the wrong hands of the law over various issues.
Here are 3 famous Nairobi preachers battling cases in court.
1. Pastor James Ng’ang’a
He is the founder and Bishop of Neno Evangelism found in Nairobi with branches across the country.
Pastor Ng’ang’a is not new to controversy and there are claims that he is an ex-convict and was allegedly once detained at the Shimo La Tewa Prison in Mombasa.
The preacher has often been quoted saying that he is not afraid of jail and that prison is like his second home.
In 2015, Nga’ng’a alongside three other people were charged with dangerous driving that led to death of a woman along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
However, Pastor Ng'ang'a was acquitted of the charges in May a move that caused public uproar.
The Director of Public Prosecutions has since appealed Pastor Ng'ang'a acquittal at the Kiambu Law Courts.
2. Bishop Gilbert Deya
In 2017, Bishop Gilbert Deya was charged with five counts of child stealing.
The Bishop is said to have committed the offense in 2004 at High Rise estate in Nairobi.
He is currently out on Sh 10 Million bond as his trial nears conclusion at the Milimani Magistrates Court.
3. Bishop Margret Wanjiru
She is the founder and Bishop of the Jesus Is Alive Ministries that has its main branch located in Nairobi.
Bishop Wanjiru is the first preacher to successfully venture into politics and win a political seat.
Wanjiru won the Starehe parliamentary seat in 2007.
She unsuccessfully contested for the Nairobi senate seat in 2013.
In 2017, she lost her bid to contest for Nairobi governor seat after losing to the now governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko in the Jubilee Party nominations.
In April 2017, the Bishop was charged in court for allegedly causing public disturbance and destroying ballot boxes and property worth Sh300,000 during the Jubilee party nomination at the City market polling station.
Wanjiru’s case is still pending in court.
