The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has granted the post-conviction bail application filed by the Senior Shepherd-in-Charge of the Celestial Church of Christ, Genesis Global, Prophet Israel Ogundipe.
In December 2020, the televangelist, had approached the court to admit him on bail citing several health issues, but Justice Olabisi Akinlade had dismissed the application.
The Prophet, had then taken the bail application before the Court of Appeal.
Justice Olabisi Akinlade of the Lagos State High Court had on November 18, 2020 sentenced the popular prophet to one-year imprisonment for converting a woman’s property to his personal use and stealing.
