- What was presented to Pastor Victor as an answered prayer turned out to be a curse that has haunted him for years
- It all started when a seemingly kind stranger gifted him a Probox to help his ministry, only to turn against him
- The benefactor accused him of stealing the vehicle and filed a case against him, one that ultimately led to his imprisonment
What began as a moment of unexpected generosity for a Nakuru pastor has unravelled into a cautionary tale of trust, betrayal and a justice system that moved faster than his defence.

Josephat Mugo Njeri, widely known as Pastor Victor, was born in 1986 and embraced Christianity in 2004 after being inspired by a close friend deeply rooted in church life.
Victor’s journey to becoming pastor
He told Itugi TV that his faith journey steadily grew; five years later, he found love within his congregation, marrying a fellow church member.

He quickly rose through the ranks and was ordained as an evangelist before eventually qualifying to become a pastor.
After serving under a mentor, he was gifted equipment to start his own ministry, a move he says stirred tension and resentment among former church members who questioned his decision to branch out.
But it was in 2021 that his life took a dramatic and unexpected turn.
How Victor was gifted car
Out of the blue, a stranger contacted him with what seemed like a blessing: a Toyota Probox vehicle to support his ministry work.
According to Pastor Victor, the man explained that the logbook would be handed over after three weeks, once an outstanding loan tied to the car had been cleared.
“At the time, I saw no reason to doubt him,” the pastor recalls. “I believed it was a genuine act of kindness.”
For three months, the vehicle became part of his daily ministry as he waited for the paperwork, until one night, during a church vigil, it disappeared.
Victor sued by blessor
Shaken, he reported the theft to the man who had given him the car. To his surprise, the response was calm, almost indifferent.
Days later, the situation took a darker twist when the same individual summoned him to a police station and demanded payment for the vehicle, claiming it was worth KSh 450,000.
Before the pastor could make sense of the demand, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) stepped in, and the narrative shifted dramatically.
Instead of being treated as a victim, Pastor Victor found himself accused of stealing the very car he believed had been gifted to him.

How Victor ended up in prison
Charged in court with theft, he scrambled to defend himself, paying over KSh 25,000 to a lawyer. But in a devastating blow, the lawyer reportedly failed to file the necessary paperwork, leaving his case in disarray.
As legal fees mounted and debts piled up, the pressure became unbearable. With no adequate defence presented and financial strain closing in, including the threat of auction, Pastor Victor was ultimately remanded to prison.
“I thank my wife, children and the team of pastors who’ve held my hand throughout the ordeal,” the Victory by Grace pastor said.
His story is one of shattered trust, raising troubling questions about informal agreements and how quickly a perceived blessing can turn into a life-altering ordeal.
Pastor admits to fake miracles
In another controversial story surrounding a pastor, Musa was in a church that was using witchcraft and false miracles to make money from the congregants.
The former fake pastor, who is now reformed, disclosed that they worked with a woman and other accomplices to perform rituals disguised as miracles.
Among the most disturbing claims is that he once exhumed a woman’s skull, fabricating a story that a witch doctor had buried it to harm a new church member.
The congregation paid him to “remove” it and deliver them from evil, but the consequences of his actions soon caught up with him.
