Lagos High court remands Bishop Feyi Daniels in Kirikiri Correctional Centre after he’s alleged to have raped two of his church members

Lagos High court remands prophet Feyi Daniels in Kirikiri Correctional Centre after he’s alleged to have raped two of his church members.

Bishop Daniel who failed to turn up in court was to be arraigned before Justice Rahman Oshodi.

The prosecuting counsel, Mrs Inumidun Solarin told the judge that one ASP Yemi informed her that the defendant was earlier granted administrative bail by the police at Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos and could not be found at the address he dropped with the police.

Mrs Solarin, therefore, asked the court to give a new date for the arraignment of the defendant.

She also told the judge that the new trial date would be communicated to the police to ensure the defendant’s presence in court.

Justice Oshodi granted the request of the prosecution and adjourned till April 17. The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team had also been involved in the matter.

The case file was forwarded to the DPP last year when investigation was said to have been concluded.

However, for several months, the legal advice was not released as the victims alleged compromise on the part of the FCID, Ikoyi, and the state government.

Our correspondent, who confirmed that the legal advice was issued in December 2022 and the cleric had yet to be prosecuted, decided to apply for the certified true copy of the advice.

On Thursday, March 2, Saturday PUNCH applied for the certified true copy through the Ministry of Justice.

After the payment of the requisite fee, the advice was released exclusively to our correspondent on Monday, March 13.

The advice, which was signed by the DPP Director, Dr Babajide Martins, was dated December 16, 2022.
