Renowned City Pastor Speaks Out After He Was Linked To The Pastor Ng’ang’a Hit And Run Accident

The Pastor Ng’ang’a saga has been unfurling like layers of onions, because every day we come across a new piece of information.

We were initially informed that his Range Rover rammed into the car of Mercy Njeri her husband Martin Mbugua. Martin Mbugua escaped with his injuries but sadly his wife was not as fortunate as she succumbed to her injuries.

We were also told that the police were involved in a convoluted scheme to cover up Pastor Ng’anga’s involvement in the calamity. Now Bishop David Muriithi of House of Grace church has been linked to the death of this young woman as his car was allegedly used as the get-away car at the accident scene.

The Bishop has come out to distance himself in this statement:

I have read in today’s Daily Nation allegation linking me to the ongoing saga and investigations on the accident that happened along Nairobi-Naivasha road. The accident resulted in the death of Mercy Njeri and injuries to her husband Martin Mbugua. At the onset, I send my condolences to the family of Ms Njeri and wish quick recovery to Mr Mbugua. Further, I wish to state that while I have all the confidence with the police service to get to the bottom of the matter and unearth the person responsible for the accident, I want to distance myself from the allegation being peddled in the media that one of my car was used as get away at the scene. Nothing could be further from the truth. At all the said time of the accident, my personal cars were within my control and would not have been anywhere near the scene of the accident.With nothing to hide on this matter, I call upon the investigating officers to release the registration numbers of the vehicles involved and the names of the owners, which are readily available from the registrar of motor vehicle to clear the matter.Linking my name to this unfortunate incidence has caused distress to myself, my family and the House of Grace congregation. I, therefore, demand that the said statement be withdrawn and an apology issued failure to which I will seek legal redress. I wish to reassure the church, friends and entire body of Christ that I have nothing to do with this matter and I have contacted Nation media group to retract the libelous statement and that my innocence will soon be vindicated. God bless.

So has he been cleared off these charges, find out in the next page.

Well he has not yet been cleared off the charges as demonstrated by this statement he sent out:

Dear friends,

I write to thank you for the support and prayers you accorded me yesterday as we fought to quell the malicious report linking my cars to the Nairobi-Naivasha road accident that resulted in death of Ms Mercy Njeri. I am grateful for your continued support, trusting in the almighty that the truth shall set us free.

I reiterate my call to the investigating officers to speedily release the details of the cars involved to avoid speculation and bring those involved to justice.

The National Police Service owe it to the family of Ms Njeri and the entire nation the truth. Ms Njeri family needs closure while the public need to know that justice is still our shield and defender.

Thank you very much and may God bless you.

Bishop David Muriithi.
