Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has praised Pastor James Ng’ang’a as a great man of God.
Sonko claimed he was in prison with Ng’ang’a and it was his prayers that freed him.
The politician warned Kenyans against joking with Ng’ang’a saying his prayers are powerful.
Sonko also revealed the pastor even visited him in jail when he was re-arrested.
“Don’t joke with this man of God. I was with him in prison, and he prayed for me milango ya gereza ikafunguka. When I was rearrested, he visited me in prison, prayed for me again, and I was lawfully released.” Sonko said.
Many have dubbed him the fake Kenyan pastor. He calls himself the ‘chief commander’ and controversy seems to be his middle name.
Pastor James Maina Ng’ang’a has for a long time been making headlines for his antics both inside and outside his church.
On many occasions, he is seen abusing members of his congregation yet they still flock to church every Sunday.
At one time, he ridiculed a woman for wearing tattered shoes to his church. He leads with the chin and makes no apologies for it.
Ng’ang’a was born in 1954 and didn’t have an easy ride.
At the age of 18, he was already on the wrong side of the law leading to his first arrest.
From then, he became a jailbird and was detained in a few prisons with Shimo La Tewa being one of them.
While in prison, James gave his life to Christ and became a street preacher in the 1990s upon his release from prison.
