“We are disturbed by the killing of our brother in the church compound.
"I am bitter because my life is also in danger. Some people have been trailing me.
"But I am not afraid of death. I am ready to die for my faith,” pastor Ng’olua said.
During the funeral attended by Meru Deputy Governor, Raphael Muriungi and Igembe Central MP, Kubai Kiringo, various speakers asked the government to ensure that justice is done and the family of the dead man compensated.
Mr Muriungi called for security to be stepped up at the Coast to stop the attacks on churches and preachers.
