Pastor James Ng’ang’a gives story of how he rescued his wife from slum life

Controversial city preacher James Ng’ang’a has once again stirred online debate after publicly reminding his wife, Murugi Maina, that he “rescued” her from Mukuru kwa Njenga.

The remarks were made during a church service at Neno Evangelism Centre and quickly spread across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, where Kenyans widely discussed the interaction between the preacher and his wife.

According to videos circulating online, Ng’ang’a invited Murugi to greet the congregation while referencing her background and spiritual journey.

“I removed you from Mukuru kwa Njenga,” Ng’ang’a told his wife during the sermon.

Murugi Maina Responds Calmly

Murugi calmly addressed the congregation, introducing herself as a born-again Christian who now lives in Karen.

She explained that her life changed after learning spiritual teachings at the church, particularly lessons about altars and spiritual foundations.

“I already left Mukuru, so my home is Karen,” Murugi told congregants.

She added that she had identified spiritual challenges linked to her upbringing and believes overcoming them transformed her life.

Murugi further stated that previous churches she attended had never taught her about such matters until she joined Neno Evangelism Centre.

“When I left there, I built new altars that now rule over my life,” she said.
