NPA head says Omotoso’s acquittal is a travesty of justice they cannot accept

# The National Director of Public Prosecutions, advocate Shamila Batohi, says the acquittal of televangelist pastor Timothy Omotoso is a travesty of justice that they cannot accept. He and his two co-accused have been acquitted of all charges, including rape and human trafficking. Batohi has requested a report from the Eastern Cape Director of Public Prosecutions, Barry Madolo, on the judgement and the adverse findings made by the judge against the prosecution team. She says they are still considering whether to appeal the judgement.
