A Lagos-based pastor, Daniel Oluwafeyiropo popularly known as Bishop Feyi, has been sent to prison by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court pending the time he fulfilled his bail conditions for allegedly raping two of his church members.
Justice Ramon Oshodi remanded the founder of the “I Reign Christian Ministry” in Kirikiri Correctional Centre until his bail conditions were met.

Oshodi set bail at N20 million with two sureties in the same amount.
He stated that one of the sureties must be the owner of a build-up property in Lagos State, with a value sufficient to cover the bail amount.
“The original document of the landed property must be submitted the chief registrar of Lagos State.
“The sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and must have three years’ tax payment to the Lagos State,” he said.
The judge also ordered the defendant to deposit his international passport with the court’s chief registrar and accelerated the case’s hearing.
Oshodi adjourned the case until May 9 for trial.
Earlier, the defence counsel, Mr Olukunle Oyewole, urged the court to grant the defendant bail on liberal terms in his bail application dated April 10.
Oyewole argued that the defendant had been on administrative bail with the police since May 20, 2023, and had made himself available to them.
