Nigerian-born televangelist Pastor Timothy Omotoso has, today, been found not guilty and acquitted on all 32 charges which, among others, included rape, sexual assault, money laundering, human trafficking and racketeering.

He was acquitted in the Eastern Cape High Court in Gqeberha – eight years after his arrest in April 2017.
