NPA set to appeal Omotoso case: Elton Hart weighs in
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says it will proceed with the appeal of the acquittal of Timothy Omotoso. The televangelist returned to his country of origin, Nigeria, yesterday. Omotoso voluntarily opted to be deported after immigration authorities arrested him in East London in the Eastern Cape earlier this month.
The NPA says the law does not require active participation or the presence of an accused person during a court’s hearing. It says if the appeal succeeds, it will apply for Omotoso’s extradition.
Legal Analyst Elton Hart weighs in on the prospects of NPA’s case against Omotoso.
