A Nigerian woman is in trouble in North Dakota – for praying too loudly and preaching on the streets.
Martha Nagbe was fined $150 after two court appearances for causing ‘unnecessary noise’.
However, Mrs Nagbe, the wife of a pastor, said she will carry on as before, because she can’t help it.
She told Valley News Live:
‘I can't stop. i have to win souls for the kingdom, I'm trusting God.’
Mrs Nagbe moved to North Dakota from Nigeria for a better life and now feels disillusioned.
She added:
‘In the United States it's one nation under God.’
The police remain adamant that she was causing a nuisance, with Police Chief Jeanette Persons stating that the problem wasn’t the praying, but the volume of her voice.
She said:
‘I mean, we all need prayers and great she's out there praying for all of us, but it's just the volume of her voice.’
Chief Persons added that Mrs Nagbe would linger outside people’s homes shouting and telling them to repent.
Her husband, Pastor Nagbe said he was upset that his wife was being made to look like a bad person and urged officials to treat her with respect.
