Commission disappointed with NPA following Omotoso acquittal

# The chairperson of the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities, Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva has criticised the National Prosecuting Authority for failing victims in the Nigerian televangelist Timothy Omotoso’s case. The High Court in Gqeberha acquitted Omotoso and his co-accused of 32 charges, including human trafficking. Judge Irma Schoeman ruled the state’s cross-examination was weak. Mkhwanazi-Xaluva calls for legal reforms and announced the formation of a committee to review such cases.
