He was arrested by the South African priority crimes unit, Hawks, on 20 April 2017 at the Port Elizabeth International Airport.

After spending about 8 years behind bars on trial, Omotoso was set free because the court found that the prosecuting team failed to present a solid case beyond reasonable doubt.
