*L-R: Pastor Fatoyinbo, Busola, Timi*
The table may turn against popular singer, Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola in their most celebrated allegation of rape against the founder of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
This is because the police authorities have in separate letters to the couple invited husband and wife for question on “a case of criminal conspiracy, falsehood, mischief and threat to life…”
This suggests that Pastor Fatoyinbo may have filed a complaint against them with the police.
The letter(s) dated July 18 read in part, “This office is investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, falsehood, mischief and threat to life in which your name was mentioned.
“You are kindly requested to interview the undersigned officer on 23/7/2019 by 10:00hrs for fact-finding through DSP Ibrahim Agu.’’
The invitation letter was signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police, IGP Special Tactical Squad, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Reacting to the invitation, however, Dakolo in a post on Instagram said their lawyer had earlier asked them to get ready for the police invitation.
He wrote, “A pastor? bribing investigating officials to delay summons? Paying dirty bloggers to fabricate things that cover the truth, going to the IG’s (Inspector-General of Police) people under dark to force this case to be posted to Abuja.
“Now this: A false investigation in Abuja when our petition filed since June has not been answered and no invitation has been made to the accused in a rape case? Not one movement towards justice? Rubbishing the legal and criminal system?
“And sending a bus load of policemen and shady men lying in wait to intimidate my wife and children today (Saturday), forcing their way into my home? Is that how real policemen deliver a letter?”
Dakola vowed that he would defend his family from “the unrelenting attack of a weak man who thinks he can use money and power to cover his crimes.”
Busola had alleged that Fatoyinbo raped her at 16 in Ilorin while attending his church.
Fatoyinbo was forced to step down as the senior pastor of COZA following the outrage and public protests that trailed the allegation.
