Meanwhile, over accusations of impersonation, forgery, and defamation, a pastor with the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Moses Ayantoye, was re-arraigned before an Oyo State High Court in Ibadan on Wednesday.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ayantoye was first charged with 23 counts on February 8, 2022, some of which had to do with impersonation and forgery.

Naija News reports that the prosecutor Michael Lana, stated during the hearing on Wednesday that the case was scheduled for the reading of the defendant’s 31-count revised charges.

Lana said that the defendant wrote a letter to the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone 11, Osogbo, using a fake letterhead that belonged to the CAC.
