South African police have alleged that Mr. Omotosho has trafficked about 30 young girls over the years from various branches of his church to a house in Umulanga, KwaZulu-Natal where he allegedly exploited them sexually.

Punch reports that Omotosho allegedly handpicked the girls, instructing them to live in his house where he forced them to have unprotected sex with him.

Mr. Omotoso, who is the founder of a 24-hour satellite TV station, Ancient of Days Broadcasting Network (ADBN), which is aired across the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico, Middle East, Europe and the United States, is reportedly married and blessed with three children.
