- National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi faced criticism in Parliament after Nigerian televangelist Timothy Omotoso was acquitted in court.
- Political parties called for her resignation due to the handling of the case, which lasted seven years and involved allegations of sexual assault and human trafficking.
- Batohi explained to the committee that an investigation into the prosecutors' performance in the case was launched in 2020 but paused in 2021 to avoid pressuring witnesses still set to testify.
