The Court of Appeal has ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) not to arrest Pastor Jerome Fernando upon his arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake.
The ruling also mentioned the self-styled ‘prophet’ should record a statement with the CID’s Cyber Crime Investigation Division within 48 hours of his arrival on the island.
This interim order was issued when a petition filed by Pastor Fernando, seeking an order preventing the CID from arresting him, was taken up before the Appeals Court bench this morning (Nov.17).
