Pastor Ng’ang’a Issues Tearful Apology After Disturbing Assault Confession
Controversial Neno Evangelism pastor James Ng’ang’a has shared a new video clip, tearfully appealing for forgiveness just days after a separate video emerged in which he seemingly confessed to sexually assaulting a woman.
In the short, undated clip, the city pastor avoids mentioning the specific sexual assault allegations but generally begs for grace due to his age, suggesting that any wrongdoings should be overlooked.
“Even if I have wronged, just forgive me because I am growing old,” Ng’ang’a lamented.
Midway through his plea, he broke down, burying his face in his hands and launching into a prayer that abruptly ended the video.
“Yes, my father. Yes, Jehovah Lord. Help me, Lord. Thank you,” he prayed. “I might not finish this because I am feeling the grace of God.” The clip ended shortly after he wiped what appeared to be teary eyes.

Previous “Beastly Crime” Confession
The apology follows intense public outcry over an earlier, separate viral video where Pastor Ng’ang’a appeared to confess to a horrific crime during a church service.
“We assaulted one woman while we were eight people. We did it,” the preacher could clearly be heard saying in the initial clip.
These disturbing remarks drew massive condemnation from Kenyans, with several high-profile figures, including Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris, demanding an immediate investigation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
“If that video is real, then it is not a sermon, it is a criminal confession. It should have been flagged instantly, and the pastor picked up for questioning by the authorities,” Passaris wrote on Tuesday, October 7, urging verification of the footage’s authenticity.
Ng’ang’a Blames Politicians
Two days after the confession video went viral, the pastor had initially lashed out at his critics, claiming that the “unwarranted attacks” were the result of politicians who were unsettled by his large religious following.
“What have I now done? I know you people will make phone calls that I be arrested, what is that now? There is God in heaven, and one day you will pay,” the pastor had declared. “You started by attacking me with this land; you don’t fear the Lord.”
He asserted he would “present my case to God, who will scatter you,” since he lacked avenues like Parliament to defend himself. His latest, tearful appeal, however, marks a shift from defiance to public supplication.
