The investigative unit of South African police, The Hawks, scheduled a meeting in Port Elizabeth with Rev. Tim Omotoso and his legal representatives on 20 April 2017 under the pretext of an ‘inquiry’ over allegations made against him. Tim Omotoso consequently bought a return flight ticket and flew from Durban to Port Elizabeth with a bid to cooperate with the authorities and answer any questions they had. Whilst he was denied the truth, the Hawks offered it to various media houses and the general public so much so that all were gathered and prepared to witness the arrest and mock Tim Omotoso as the so called inquiry turned out to be a scheduled arrest, dramatically played out at the Port Elizabeth airport in full view of the media and public.

The Hawks further propagated a lie, saying Tim Omotoso lied about his flight arrival time and was caught hiding in the airport’s female toilet but in fact Tim Omotoso took a scheduled South Africa Airways flight and on landing he briefly went into the male toilet. Whilst relieving himself a number of armed police stomped in and climbed the cubicle dragging him out like a common criminal. Was it necessary for 8 armed police to arrest an unarmed man who voluntarily traveled down to cooperate with the authorities? All these because of allegations of sexual offences and human trafficking. In recent days we have seen allegations play out in Hollywood, Westminster and various other prominent places and countries yet the men concerned are still free until such allegations are proven and ONLY then will an arrest be initiated if the evidence stacks up.
