Controversial Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso has been rearrested in South Africa just weeks after his acquittal on rape and human trafficking charges.
According to Punch Newspaper, Omotoso was detained at the Mdantsane Police Station for allegedly violating South Africa’s Immigration Act. Authorities confirmed his arrest is unrelated to previous charges but focuses on his residency status.
The 66-year-old cleric, founder of Jesus Dominion International, was earlier acquitted by the Eastern Cape High Court due to insufficient evidence in a high-profile case involving 32 counts of rape and trafficking.
Police stated he will appear before the Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court to face new immigration-related charges.
Omotoso’s legal battles have drawn attention in Nigeria and South Africa, with his ministry denying all past allegations. This new arrest reignites debates over his legal troubles.
