Bishop James Maina Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Church Nairobi, has been arrested after a video of him threatening Citizen TV Director of Strategy and Innovation, Linus Kaikai went viral.

The pastor who posted a video on his Facebook page addressing Linus Kaikai’s comment on live TV during a segment called Kaikai’s Kicker on News Gang was arrested on Sunday by detectives from Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI).

Pastor Ng’ang’a was annoyed by the anchor’s suggestion that pastors needed academic qualifications to run a church.

“Kwanza nashukuru wale ambao hawajui kusoma kwa sababu mbinguni hatuendi na masomo. Hakuna degree itapima milango ya mbinguni na vile vile niwapongeze wale mumesoma –you are doing good- mumefanya vizuri.”

“Now on my Kicker tonight, I think it is time to regulate religious organizations especially the so-called ‘churches’. Former Attorney General, Githu Mwigai, proposed regulations that among other rules required preachers to submit certificates of good conduct and their Theological training certificates so as to be licensed to run churches. This are the rules Kenya, must revisit in order to restore sanity in the preaching enterprise they call it”, Kaikai said

In response to this Pastor Ng’ang’a warned the journalist saying, “Please separate preaching na hizo sarakasi za news anchor. Separate, nakuambia tu kijana. I’m telling you like a Chief General Commander, you have to stop that. Kama umeingia line ya Ng’ang’a, my friend you will face the consequences. I can’t hide you but you can hide me. Wewe utakimbia tu.”
