The Bishop of I Reign Christian Ministry, Feyi Daniels, faces a life sentence in a Lagos court for the rape of a 23-year-old church member. Additionally, Judge Rahman Oshodi hands down a three-year prison term to Daniels for the molestation of a 19-year-old church member (count three of the four-count allegation). The verdict mandates the cleric to spend the remainder of his life at the Lagos-based Kirikiri detention center.
Reports indicate that the prosecution successfully demonstrated the elements of the two charges, portraying Feyi Daniels as a dishonest and untruthful individual. However, the judge dismissed the second count related to the rape of another church member (name withheld), finding Daniels not guilty in that instance.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Daniels faced four revised counts, encompassing attempted rape, sexual assault, and rape. The court's decision reflects the gravity of the charges and the legal consequences for the bishop involved in the disturbing case.
