Mr Ng’ang’a, the proprietor of Neno Evangelism Church, was discharged on Thursday after the complainant, Mr Wickson Njoroge Mwathe, forgave him. He told senior resident magistrate Wandia Nyamu that he did not want to pursue the case further.

Mr Mwathe took to the witness stand at the Milimani law courts and told Ms Nyamu that Pastor Ng’ang’a was his father's spiritual leader, adding that after some soul searching, he has “decided to forgive him.”
