Pastor James Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism Centre has been cleared of the charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

Ng'ang's was acquitted at a Limuru court on Friday alongside driver Simon Kuria and police officers Christopher Nzioka and Patrick Baya.

Security was tight when the four arrived.

Chief Magistrate Godfrey Oduor said the prosecution did not produce evidence enough for their conviction.

"The four don't have a case to answer," he said, adding the full ruling will be delivered on Monday.

Mbugua's father Peter Ndung'u said his children had been denied justice.

Ng'ang'a distanced himself from the accident that year and accused police and the media of tarnishing his name by linking him to it.

He said he is "not like [Salvation Healing Ministry Pastor Victor] Kanyari".

"Mine is a legitimate ministry and you cannot pull me down," he said.
