This after several calls by some members of Parliament's Justice and Constitutional Development Portfolio committee, during a meeting where the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) appeared to address the matter of the acquittal of Nigerian televangelist, Timothy Omotoso.
Omotoso and his two co- accused were acquitted in April this year, on charges of rape of several of his church congregants, human trafficking and racketeering. Presiding over the matter, Judge Irma Schoeman also made scathing remarks about the competence and conduct of prosecutors on the matter.
“I took office at end of state capture, had to turn around a captured authority we have done incredibly good work to turn around NPA, now professional, well run, with professional prosecutors at this point very proud of NPA work,” Batohi told the country’s parliament.
