Reports revealed that the preacher’s church was marked for demolition. In a clip that surfaced on social media, he challenged the government to demolish his church.
He noted that he was aware of the demolition plans and claimed that he bought the piece of land from the government.

The pastor noted that he was ready to take the demolition fight head-on, and he would fight for his rights.
“Every year I heard someone saying that they will come to demolish this place, just come. I was not given it; I bought it from the government. This is not my kiosk; this is the Lord’s dwelling place. We will leave it for other people to worship the Lord,” he said.

Nga’ng’a noted that he completed payment in 2008.
