Neno Evangelist Pastor James Ng’anga on Monday moved to court to stop his prosecution over Sh3.6 million fraud claims.

In a suit filed at the High Court, he claimed that he has a civil dispute over a 17 bedroom house in Nairobi’s Karen estate yet a Mr Wickson Njoroge Mwathi has threatened to use investigating agencies to settle a score with him over that row, Nation reports.

He alleged that the matter has caused him mental and psychological torture as his security is under threat.

Through lawyer Cliff Oduk, he sued Mr Mwathi, the Inspector-General of the Police, the Director of Criminal Investigations and the Director of Public Prosecutions.

“Pending the hearing and determination of this matter, the court be pleased to issue an order of injunction restraining the agents of the sued parties from instituting, arraigning and charging Pastor Ng’ang’a on a court of law,” said Mr Oduk.

According to the televangelist, the dispute dates back to three years ago when he entered into a lease agreement with Mr Mwathi over a residential property.

Mr Mwathi was acting as an agent for Chinese nationals who wanted to rent the house, the preacher said.

The pastor’s terms were that the tenant was to pay a monthly fee of Sh 450,000 and deposit for two months. Also a tenant has to give him a written notice 60 days prior if he or she wishes to terminate the lease.

When Mr Mwathi and the Chinese nationals approached him on April 6, 2016, he said they agreed with the terms and even paid him six months’ rent in advance.

But the dispute arose when the tenants allegedly failed to issue their landlord with the 60-day written notice on termination of lease and went ahead to demand from him Sh 3.6million as monies to be refunded.

Pastor Ng’ang’a was arrested on April 2nd and later released after paying Ksh 100,000.

Pastor Ng’anga has appeared in media limelight for couple of times because of ugly incidences accompaning him.

The case is still under investigation.
