NPA adamant it has strong case against Omotoso, co-accused
NPA Welcomes the SCA Order Granting NPA Leave to Appeal Omotoso Acquittal Judgment — NPASouthAfrica (@NPA_Prosecutes) July 15, 2026 NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago says, “We believe that there were questions of law that were not done properly by the judge who was presiding at the high court in Gqeberha, and that is Judge Irma Schoeman.
The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has granted the NPA leave to appeal a judgment after Omotoso, along with Solani and Sitho, were acquitted of charges including human trafficking, rape and sexual assault in April 2025.
The NPA says this is an important opportunity to clarify key principles of criminal law and insists that, despite Omotoso’s deportation to Nigeria, he can be extradited should the appeal succeed.
