Shock and outrage have erupted after a viral video captured controversial televangelist Pastor James Ng’ang’a slapping a worshipper during a live church service in Dandora.
The clip, which spread like wildfire on social media, shows the fiery preacher rebuking the man before delivering a stinging slap in front of stunned congregants.
Victim Speaks Out
The worshipper, who has now broken his silence, says he was left humiliated and in disbelief.
“I went to church seeking spiritual guidance, not violence. I demand justice,” he told local media.
Public Outrage
Kenyans online have flooded timelines with mixed reactions. Some defended Ng’ang’a, saying it was “spiritual discipline,” while many others blasted the act as abuse of power and assault.
Human rights groups have weighed in strongly.
“No religious leader is above the law. This is a criminal offense and action must be taken,” said a Nairobi lawyer.
Calls for Arrest
The Kenya Human Rights Commission has already condemned the incident and promised legal support to the victim. Netizens are now piling pressure on authorities and the DCI to arrest Ng’ang’a.
A Pastor Always in Controversy
This is not the first time Pastor Ng’ang’a has been in the headlines. From fiery sermons to run-ins with the law, he has remained one of Kenya’s most polarizing church figures.
What Next?
As investigations kick off, all eyes are on law enforcers. Will Ng’ang’a face the law this time? Or will he walk away untouched again?
The story continues to spark heated debate about the limits of religious authority and the protection of worshippers in church.
