Kenyan televangelist and church pastor, James Ng’ang, had to cut short his intended month-long sojourn in the wilderness praying for his country, after being arrested for conning a businessman out of three and a half million shillings (over thirty-five thousand U.S. dollars).

Ng’ang is no stranger at his local police station having been arrested last month for threatening to kill journalist Linus Kaikai who has been calling for religious organisations to be regulated.
