The Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja has convicted and sentenced the founder of “I Reign Christian Ministry”, in the Lekki area of Lagos, Bishop Feyiropo Daniels to Life Imprisonment for the rape of one of his church members.
In addition, Bishop Daniels has been sentenced to serve a three-year term for sexual assault.
The court ruled that both prison terms would run concurrently, and the bishop’s name would be entered into the Sexual Offences Register of Lagos state.
The conviction comes after Bishop Daniels was accused last year of raping a church member at his Lekki residence.
Further allegations against the bishop included engaging in sexual relations with three other women.
He had reportedly provided one of the women with N100,000 for hospital treatment, paid school fees for another, and maintained a relationship with the third woman, who held a leadership position in the campus fellowship affiliated with his ministry in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State.
