Sexual Assault ::Pastor Omotosho knows fate 9 June

Judgment will be delivered on 9 June by a South African court on the bail application by Nigerian Pastor Tim Omotosho, charged with human trafficking and sexual assault.

The Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s court fixed the judgement day after listening to arguments and counter arguments for Omotosho’s bail.



The lawyer to the 58 year-old pastor,Alfonso Hatting, argued that there was no reason for the State to refuse the applicant bail, adding that it was up to the court to give the pastor the status of illegal or prohibited.

He said the State’s case was weak and added that the pastor was not a flight risk and had known since October that he was under investigation.

“He had five opportunities to escape but he came back; therefore he is not a flight risk,” said Hatting

However, prosecutor Nceba Ntelwa opposed the bail application citing that there was “seriously incriminating” evidence against the pastor.
