Nigerian televangelist Timothy
Omotso has been found not guilty of the charges preferred against him in the
Gqeberha High Court.
The 66-year-old was arrested
in 2017. He and his two co-accused, Lusanda Sulani, and Zikiswa Sitho, faced 32
counts of charges which included racketeering, trafficking in persons, rape,
and sexual assault.
At the last court appearance
the National Prosecuting Authority said the judgement will mark a remarkable
milestone the case that has been marred by delays for almost eight years since
the arrest of the trio.
It is understood that Omotoso was
the leader of the Jesus Dominion International (JDI) church and his co-accused
were his assistants.
The case has been ongoing for
eight years.
JDI had major branches in
South Africa, Nigeria, and Israel, with Durban being its headquarters in the
country.
