Woman begs to go to jail in Omotoso’s place

South Africans were amazed after seeing a video of a woman devastated about Timothy Omotoso’s arrest. The Nigerian televangelist was acquitted of 32 charges of rape, human trafficking and racketeering in April.

His supporters were ecstatic about the news and held a mass celebration in the streets of the Eastern Cape. The pastor was arrested on Saturday and is expected to appear in court today on immigration charges 

One of his supporters from KwaZulu-Natal could not bear the news and hopped on social media to express her feelings. The woman begged to take the Nigerian man’s place in jail:

“South Africa, what have you done to the Lord’s prophet, Timothy Omotoso? What has he ever done to you? You don’t even know him. Arrest me, I am handing myself over so that you can free him. Take me instead. My name is Grace Mgwalazi from eMlazi. When you come and arrest me. I will not put up a fight, just free Omotoso.”

Church leaders in East London stood behind the women who testified against Omotoso and marched on Sunday to hand over a memorandum demanding that Omotoso be deported from South Africa. The Department of Home Affairs rejected the pastor’s appeal against an earlier ruling that declared him a prohibited person. 

South Africans were outraged by Grace and shared their thoughts in a thread of comments.

“She is an Al made by Omotoso.”
