NPA confident in appeal bid against Omotoso following reserved judgment

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) remains confident in its appeal bid against Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso.

This comes after the Gqeberha High Court in the Eastern Cape on Monday reserved judgment in the case related to the acquittal of Omotoso and his co-accused.

During arguments in court, the State claimed that clearing the televangelist of over 60 charges, including rape, human trafficking, and racketeering, was an error in judgment.

Meanwhile, the defence maintains the NPA’s application misinterpreted the main judgment and failed to meet procedural requirements.

The matter now rests with the court, which will decide whether the case can be referred to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
