Nigerian televangelist, Timothy Omotoso, acquitted of raping young women from his church, was to leave South Africa on Sunday, local media said, just days after prosecutors said they would reopen the case.
Omotoso was last month found not guilty on 32 charges, including rape, sexual exploitation and human trafficking after spending eight years in jail.
The decision drew ire across South Africa after the judge said prosecutors mishandled the case.
The 66-year-old pastor of Jesus Dominion International church, was to leave from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport for his native Nigeria, state broadcaster SABC and Newsroom Afrika television said.
