Justice Rahman Oshodi of an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court has sentenced Feyi Daniels, the founder of I Reign Christian Ministry, to life imprisonment for raping a church member.

The trial judge on Friday, found the cleric guilty of rape and sexual assault of a female worshipper.

Daniels was arraigned by the Lagos State Government over rape, attempted rape and sexual assault of his church members.

The pastor faced trial on an amended four-count charge bordering on rape, sexual assault and attempted rape.

He was accused of sexually assaulting three of his church members at his residence in Lekki and on his church premises in Ikeja.

The court in May 2023, remanded the pastor for allegedly raping a 25-year-old woman at his Lekki residence.

The church member had told the court that the cleric had sex with her during a prayer session, while speaking in tongues.
