COZA Scandal: Parties involved

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Busola Dakolo, wife of the popular singer; Timi Dakolo has raised an alarm of being forced at gun point by the police to sign a letter countering her rape allegations against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.

Timi Dakolo’s wife alleged that she was forced into a van by some armed men who ordered her to speak with their superior officer in Pidgin language. Busola who accused the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) church of raping her when she was still a teenager in Ilorin, said the document she was forced to sign contained allegations of “criminal conspiracy, falsehood, mischief and threat to life” levelled against her and her husband.

“One was holding a gun and the second, a letter. They told me they were from IG’s (inspector general of police) office in Abuja and that I needed to sign this letter and acknowledge it,” Cableng reported she said.

The mother  of three said the incident occurred after being followed by a tinted mini bus while driving home. Busola further disclosed that she was invited for questioning alongside her husband over allegations of “falsehood and criminal conspiracy” on July 23 by the special tactical squad of the inspector general of police (IGP), who never extended same to Pastor Fatoyinbo.

“Our culture doesn’t allow speaking of these sorts of things against anointed men of God. They’d rather hide it, and the party that is being victimized tends to live with that self-blame,” she said. “The damage on the survivor is extremely terrible but the society, the church, keeps sweeping things under the carpet.”

Recall that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo returned to the pulpit on August 4, weeks after stepping down following a protest.
