Former MFM Chorister Ayotunde Richards Rearrested, Detained Over Alleged Conspiracy To Commit Felony, Cyberstalking
Ayotunde Richards, a gospel singer and former member of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), has again been arrested and detained at Ikoyi Prison over an alleged conspiracy to commit a felony and cyberstalking.
Ayotunde was the leader of the cleric’s backup singers.
A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos State, had granted bail to Ayotunde over a petition from Davidson Adejuwon, a lawyer and reportedly an aide to the church founder, Dr Daniel Olukoya.
In a ruling, Ambrose Allagoa, the presiding judge, said the charges against Ayotunde were bailable.
SaharaReporters had reported how Ayotunde was arrested over a petition from Davidson Adejuwon.
The lawyer accused Ayotunde of sundry acts of cyberbullying and libelling Olukoya.
Davidson filed the petition as counsel for one Mrs Sanni, an aide to Olukoya reportedly saddled with the cleric’s social media concerns.
In the petition, the lawyer accused Ayotunde of sundry acts of cyberbullying and making libellous claims against Olukoya.
Ayotunde had also filed a suit against the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Olukoya, over an alleged breach of his fundamental human rights.
However, a high Court sitting in Onikan Lagos State on Thursday again detained Ayotunde over a two-count charge.
It was learnt that Ayotunde was detained over a suit filed by Opeyemi Emmanuel. He was accused of conspiracy to commit a felony and cyberstalking.
SaharaReporters gathered that Ayotunde will be in Ikoyi Prison till June 13 when his lawyer will move his bail application in court.
