LAGOS (Sundiata Post) – A Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court has convicted a Lagos cleric, Oluwafeyiropo Daniels, of raping his assistant pastor.
Justice Rahman Oshodi found Daniels, the Bishop of I Reign Christian Ministry, guilty of rape and therefore sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Oshodi held that prosecution established the ingredients of the offence.
According to him, Daniels is a liar and does not have any regard for truth.
The judge, however, discharged and acquitted him on the count two of the charge, which is rape of another member of the church (name withheld).
Oshodi held that there was an element of consent from the church member.
Reports that the judgment was still ongoing as at the time of this report.
Daniels faced an amended four-count charge bordering on rape, attempted rape and sexual assault. (NAN)
