'He has no place in SA': EFF calls for immediate deportation of Omotoso
Kula mentioned university students in the area have been complaining about noise levels from the church during services and claimed young women say they do not feel safe with Omotoso there.
Kula also raised concerns about the church's zoning and safety, saying: 'Even with the church, we are not sure how they are here, because in terms of the bylaws we are not sure if a church is meant to be here.'
However, the Christians of South Africa organisation has condemned Omotoso's arrest, claiming it is politically charged and an attack on religious freedom.
'This arrest is not about documentation. It is about silencing a prophetic voice. Omotoso is being targeted not for what he has done but for what he represents — a rising tide of spiritual authority that threatens the status quo,' the grouping alleged.
'Like Robert Sobukwe before him, Omotoso is being punished for his thoughts, his faith and the anointing he carries. This is detention by design, intended to humiliate and suppress.'
