Lagos bishop accused of rape knows fate Jan 26

An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Thursday reserved judgment until Jan. 26, in a case involving a Lagos bishop, Oluwafeyiropo Daniel, charged with raping his assistant pastor and one other (names withheld). Daniel, who is the Bishop of I Reign Christian Ministry, was also charged with attempted rape of one other alleged survivor (name withheld). He, however, pleaded not guilty to the amended four-count charge bordering on rape, sexual assault and attempted rape. Justice Rahman Oshodi fixed Jan. 26 for judgment, after counsel in the case adopted their final written addresses. The defence counsel, Mr Fola Awonusi, in his final written address, urged the court to discharge and acquit the defendant.
