BREAKING: Pastor Who Prophesied Against Tinubu’s Victory Bags Life Sentence For Raping Church Members

An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court sitting in Lagos has sentenced the founder of “I Reign Christian Ministry”, Daniel Oluwafeyiro, to life imprisonment for rape and 3 years imprisonment for sexual assault of some of his church members.

The court had in April 2023, remanded the founder at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre following rape charges instituted against him by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, on behalf of some of his church members.

Feyi pleaded not guilty to the charges and trial commenced.

But the state lead prosecution counsel, Mr Babjide Boye, urged the court to convict the pastor, holding that the allegations were true.

Feyi had claimed ahead of his appearance in court, that the rape allegations against him are untrue and political because of his predictions about the 2023 elections.

“If my words mean anything to you, I want to say to you, I have never raped anyone in my life,” he said.

But in his judgement on Friday, the trial judge, Rahman Oshodi, held that evidence showed that the pastor committed the crime.

He subsequently sentence him, adding that the sentences are to run concurrently.

Reacting, the Lagos State Commissioner for Justice tweeted “His name will be registered in the Sexual Offenders Register as maintained by Lagos State. “

The cleric was in the news following his prophetic prediction to his congregation, saying Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress would be unlawfully declared as the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
