Controversial Kenyan pastor Apostle Nganga, known to his followers as “The Commander in Chief,” has announced a strict policy against women with dreadlocks attending his church.
In a recent TikTok post, Ng’ang’a expressed frustration over women sporting “Rasta” hairstyles, claiming they mislead young people with such appearances.
Ng’ang’a emphasized his seriousness, warning that he would require anyone attending his services with dreadlocks to shave them off.
He even asserted that he would personally take action if they refused.
“If you have Rasta, you must shave it before coming to where I am. If not, you won’t be allowed in. One Sunday, we will shave you. Women, you are the ones ruining this church, and your hair colour is like a microphone. You wear pants like Koinange,” he said.

His statements have sparked a heated conversation online, with some supporting his stance while others argue it as an overreach, criticizing him for making hair a matter of faith.
This latest statement by Ng’ang’a is not his first controversial directive, as the pastor has a reputation for his outspoken and often unconventional views on church discipline and morality.

Ng’ang’a expanded his message beyond appearance, criticizing what he perceives as growing hypocrisy within the church.
He stressed that physical appearance should align with a person’s deeds and moral character, condemning churchgoers who engage in gossip, theft, or deceit while still attending services.
The pastor expressed concern over a lack of genuine love, spiritual wisdom, and connection to the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that many churchgoers are overly focused on worldly matters, such as government issues.
The outspoken cleric urged his followers to focus on authentic spirituality and to embody the values they profess.

He also advised upcoming preachers to focus on preaching the kingdom of God, avoiding the pursuit of material wealth, which he described as temporary and ultimately unimportant.
“You may do things of the world, but with your mouth, you praise the Lord. But if you are a killer, a liar, a gossip, a thief, and lack the wisdom of God, your mind is focused on worldly things. You have no love or fellowship with the Holy Spirit. You are always talking about government matters,” he added.
“There is God in heaven. Those who are saved, stay saved. To the upcoming preachers, preach about the kingdom of God, not about money. Money is temporary; you’ll eventually leave it behind,” he concluded.
Reactions continue to pour in, with debates over personal freedom, religious expectations, and the influence of appearance on spirituality taking center stage.
