Pastor remanded for alleged rape of two church members

A Sexual offences and Domestic Violence Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday remanded a clergyman, Daniel Oluwafeyiropo, for allegedly raping two of his church members.

Oshodi admitted the pastor to N20 million bail with two sureties in like sum, according to NAN.

The judge stated that one of the sureties must be the owner of a build-up property in Lagos State, with a value sufficient to cover the bail amount.

“The original document of the landed property must be submitted the chief registrar of Lagos State.

“The sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and must have three years’ tax payment to the Lagos State,” he said.

The judge also ordered the defendant to deposit his international passport with the court’s chief registrar and accelerated the case’s hearing.

Bishop Feyi was charged with rape on two counts.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The defendant allegedly committed the offences in June 2020 at Ikota Villa Estate in Lekki, Lagos.

According to the prosecution, the alleged offence violated Sections 260 (2) of the Lagos State Criminal Laws of 2015.

Justice Oshodi adjourned the case until May 9 for trial.
