Pastor James Ng’ang’a, a controversial preacher known for his dramatic antics, is once again the talk of town after a recent incident during one of his church services.
The preacher was addressing his congregation when a woman stepped forward during the altar call to seek spiritual guidance regarding her troubled marriage.
Dressed in an orange top and sporting a unique box-style haircut with a dyed front section a style often associated with men the woman shared her confusion about why her husband had left her without offering any explanation.
Instead of offering the prayers or comfort she might have expected, Pastor Ng’ang’a turned the focus to her appearance.
He pointed at her hairstyle and bluntly questioned her choice of haircut. “Who told you to shave like that?” he asked in a tone that suggested displeasure. “Is this haircut for men or women?” His direct approach left many in the congregation stunned.

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing was clear: the woman handled the confrontation with remarkable composure. She did not appear to be visibly distressed by the pastor’s comments, and her calm response stood out amidst the tension.
Whether the encounter was seen as a form of tough love or as an example of public shaming, it certainly got people talking.This incident is just the latest in a long series of controversial moments involving Pastor Ng’ang’a.
