Lagos bishop accused of raping pastors arraigned

The Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Monday, granted a bishop, Oluwafeyiropo Daniel, who was accused of raping two of his church pastors (names withheld) bail.

Justice Ramon Oshodi however remanded Oluwafeyiropo who is the founder of I Reign Christian Ministry in Kirikiri Correctional Centre pending when he can perfect his bail conditions.

The defendant was granted N20m bail with two sureties in like sum.

Justice Oshodi said one of the sureties must be the owner of a property in Lagos State and the property must be enough to cover the bail sum.

The original document of the landed property must be submitted to the Chief Registrar of Lagos State.

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

The judge also ordered the defendant to deposit his passport with the chief registrar of the court and ordered an acceleration hearing of the case.

Earlier, the defendant’s counsel, Mr Olukunle Oyewole, who moved his bail application dated April 10, urged the court to grant him bail on liberal terms.

Oyewole contended that the defendant had been on police administrative bail since March 20, 2023, and had made himself available to the police.

“The defendant is a well-known religious leader and he has shown by his action that he will not jump bail.

“The offence for which he is charged is a bailable offence and he has credible sureties that can stand for him,” he said.

The state prosecution counsel, Mr Babjide Boye, in his counter affidavit dated April 14, urged the court to refuse the defendant’s bail application, but however, left it at the discretion of the court.

Boye further argued that the offence was a serious one and that the likelihood of conviction might put the defendant at flight risk.

He said, “There is also the possibility of the defendant interfering with the prosecution witnesses.

He is a bishop of so many branches and if granted bail, he may use his position to influence the prosecution witnesses as he is regarded as a man of authority who has the possibility of committing the same crime.

“We urge the court to deny the defendant bail because he has failed to provide the court exceptional circumstances to grant him bail.”

Daniel was earlier arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on rape.

The prosecutor told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offence sometime in June 2020, at Ikota Villa Estate, Lekki, Lagos.

According to the prosecutor, the offence committed contravened Sections 260 (2) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against him by the state.

The case was adjourned till May 9 for trial

On April 4 reported that Daniel’s planned arraignment was stalled after he failed to show up in court.

The matter, which was listed as number four on the case list of the judiciary, came up before Justice Ramon Oshodi of the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja.

The police prosecutor, Mrs Inumidun Solarin, however, informed the court that the defendant was not around.

She noted that Daniel was granted bail by the police at the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Alagbon, Ikoyi.

According to her, the Investigating Police Officer, ASP Yemi Temenu, claimed that when the police visited his house in Ikota, Lekki, it was discovered that he had relocated.

While seeking an adjournment, she said the pastor was in Abuja for a church programme.

The case was subsequently adjourned till April 17, 2023.

I hit the devil in face, said Ooni’s ex- queen

Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has testified that she punched the devil in the face as she recounted her journey in life.

Silekunola made this known on her Instagram page as she celebrated her 30th birthday on Saturday, announcing that life tested her.

The ex-queen revealed that her 30th birthday is significant adding that the last 29 years were used as preparation for the present moment.

She wrote, “MY 30THBIRTHDAY IN PRAISE OF GOD.

The journey here has been beautiful, I can’t believe it’s three decades already. Yahweh has been faithful.

Three decades didn’t happen without life testing me but with the grace of God so amazing, I gave the devil a punch right back in his face isn’t that grace?

Now that I am on THE 3RD FLOOR,

“I count my 30th birthday as very significant, following in the footsteps of the one whose life was lived for others. A life of utmost sacrifice.

“So, I count all that I have done before now; the past 29 years of my life as preparation towards now and the future.

‘Therefore, this new season would be a life of benevolence in the service of humanity far more than before, as I also continue the journey of self-improvement in all the facets of my life.

Finally, my dearest family, ardent followers and fans, the Lord Most High is about to blow our minds. It is going to be nothing like we have ever experienced before.

“Hear this: ‘God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. (Psalm 46:5 KJV).”

Those who have followed Sidi’s career in the last few years would confirm that she has worn the mask of the comical character in several movies and now developed a mental note to own the character’s originality in her dramatic creations.

Her new series will be shown on her YouTube channel Kemity TV from May 30th. As directed by Sanusi Izihaq, the series parades actors such as Ibrahim Bakare Itele, Bakare Zainab, Yemi Elesho, Fausat Balogun, among others.

Speaking on this development, Idris Bello of Emiralty Africa, the project’s media consultant, said: “Kemi Ariyo has once again taken her career pursuits more seriously, as this project will come out to be one of her best you have ever seen. She continues to learn and exhibit new ideas of growth and creative dexterity.”

It’s hard to get help in Nollywood – Joseph Momodu

A rising actor, Joseph Momodu, has said that though entertainers cannot do without female fans, he has learnt how to manage the attention from them.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said, “Entertainers cannot do without female fans, whether one is married or single. It is then left for one to keep things professional. When they complement one, one should not try and do too much in reciprocating. A simple ‘thank you’ and ‘God bless you’ is okay. One should not indulge them to the point that they start sending one (intimate) messages and pictures.

Recalling his early days in the industry, Momodu said, “The journey has not been smooth; it was actually rough. However, I thank God for His mercies. If not for His grace, I would have opted out of the industry a long time ago, because people are not willing to help. Once they see that one is talented, they would want to pull one down.”

The actor who often plays lover boy roles admitted that he used to be stereotyped in the industry.

“Nollywood typecasts actors. I used to be stereotyped as a lover boy in Nollywood. However, I have played other roles convincingly as well; and that has made producers and directors to see the range of what I can offer. I have also acted as both a wicked and gullible husband. I am no longer stereotyped,” he said.

Police arrest suspect in attempted kidnapping of Tiwa Savage

The Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department, Alagbon, Ikoyi, in Lagos, says it has arrested some persons in connection with the alleged attempt to kidnap Tiwa Savage.

The department’s spokesperson, CSP Oluniyi Ogundeyi, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Lagos.

NAN reports that the news of the attempt to kidnap the musician broke out on Friday through social media.

The reports revealed that the musician’s private security vigilance and the Nigeria Police saved her from the suspects.

It gathered that the failed plot was allegedly planned by Savage’s new domestic staff, who had been entrusted with vital information about her.

Sources said that the domestic staff had been trailing the singer as she left her home and shared the information with other members of the alleged kidnapping gang.

”Yes, we have some suspects, they are in our custody. They are about four,” the spokesperson said.
