Nigerian pastor, Tim Omotoso who is
accused of molesting the congregants of his
church including teenage girls has been
taken into custody.


The Hawks earlier confirmed they are
investigating allegations of human
trafficking against the televangelist –
following a lead by the SABC’s Special
Assignment.
The controversial Nigerian pastor was
arrested on Thursday, April 20, at the Port
Elizabeth airport in a dramatic show by the
Hawks and some members of the police’s
tactical response unit.
The plane touched down at the airport at
around 3pm when he and other passengers
entered the baggage arrival hall, members
armed with automatic weapons rushed into
the area as he appeared to be fleeing.
In the confusion, some members were seen
running through the airport looking for him
but he was found inside the toilet in the
arrivals.
He was then marched out of the toilet and
the airport building to an awaiting car, as
crowds at the airport cheered his arrest.
Hawks spokesperson, Robert Netshiunda
says the evangelist could be facing more
charges.
“We have arrested him for trafficking
persons. We are laying that charge
now. Because we are investigating
further, there’s a possibility of us
adding more charges,” he said.
Below is a statement issued by the South
African Police Service on Thursday:
