A senior pastor is sentenced by a court to life in prison for the rape of a female pastor.

Bishop Daniels is accused of rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault, according to an updated four-count complaint obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). Section 260(2) of Lagos State’s 2015 Criminal Law was broken by the charges.

The verdict has spurred discussions about the need for justice and accountability in situations of s3xual offenses within religious institutions, and the court procedures were keenly followed. Even within the walls of religious institutions, sexual impropriety will not be allowed, as the sentence makes clear.

Bishop Daniels will spend the remainder of his life behind bars in the Kirikiri detention facility in Lagos, where he is to serve out his sentence. The ruling of the court demonstrates a dedication to maintaining justice and shielding victims
