The father in-law to Mercy Njeri, a woman who was killed in a road crash which televangelist James Ng’ang’a was acquitted of causing, says his life is in danger.

Mr Peter Ndung’u, on Monday morning reported at Tigoni Police Station that he fears for his life after unknown people broke into his home at Murengeti village, in Limuru on Sunday during the day, ransacked all the rooms and left without stealing anything.

The raiders, he said, jumped over the perimeter fence before breaking the doors to gain entry into the house between 10 am and 2pm when he and his family were in church.

“It appears like they were looking for a specific thing because after turning everything upside down, they left without taking anything,” Mr Ndung’u said.

TOOK PHOTOS

Mr Ndung’u, said he reported the matter to the police who visited his home, took photos and also recorded statements from family members.

According to Mr Ndung’u, days before the raid, he had noticed strange people trailing him and though he was already apprehensive of his safety, he did not report to the police.

“New faces have been greeting me in the streets and I have also noticed motorcycle riders around my home, mostly at night which is unusual because my house is at a private area,” he said.

CASE TERMINATED

Mr Ndung’u said though he has no evidence to connect the happenings to the accident case, he said they only started only after the case was terminated.

“There is nothing else that I do that could lead to such activities, I am just a farmer. All these started after the ruling of the accident case and I would want the police to investigate the matter and to establish any connection,” he said.

After the ruling, which the family has rejected, Mr Ndung’u, in an interview with NTV, said he had rejected approaches from emissaries claiming to be from Pastor Ng’ang’a for an out of court settlement.
