Nigerians react as Busola Dakola loses rape case against Fatoyinbo

Fatoyinbo, Busola Dakola

Nigerians have reacted to the Abuja High Court decision to throw out the rape case filed by celebrity Photographer, Busola Dakolo against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).

The Federal High Court sitting in Bwari dismissed Busola Dakolo’s suit against Fatoyinbo on the ground that it amounts to injustice and an abuse of judicial process.

According to the ruling, the case is empty and purely sentimental. The presiding judge, Justice Othman A. Musa, said the case was aimed more at cruelty than obtaining justice.

The court also awarded costs of N1,000,000 against Busola Dakolo and held that the fine should have been 10 times more because the court’s time was wasted.

However, the ruling has generated different reactions from Nigerians on social media as some expressed disappointment in the judiciary system of Nigeria.

See reactions below;

Update: Busola Dakolo V. Biodun Fatoyinbo. The clerk called the lawyers of Busola Dakolo late last night notifying them of the judge’s ruling on the preliminary objection today. As expected, a mockery of our processes and law was the case as the drama unfolds.

A Nigerian Court that claims twice it cannot find processes on Busola Dakolo vs Biodun Fatiyinbo's case suddenly calls for ruling on preliminary application and declares that the matter is statute barred and that it cannot address the substance of the matter because…

I totally agree with you. I hope she finds closure truly cause her case was like a beacon of hope for so many women myself included but here we are.

so busola dakolo’s rape allegations against pastor biodun fatoyinbo have been termed a lie by the court and she has been fined N1,000,000 to be paid as damages to the pastor. i’m in awe of the nigerian judiciary. this occurrence gives us an assurance of true justice. smh.

On this Busola Dakolo, i don't think y'all expect the court to agreed she was raped based on what she said alone. There's no evidence and neither did pastor fatoyinbo confessed to it… The fuck you want the court to do? To jail him without evidence or what?

PS: RAPE is a NO❌

I actually knew Busola Dakolo was going to lose the court case against Biodun Fatoyinbo for lack of evidence. The court isn't about emotions and sentiments. It's alright about facts and proven evidneces.

A senator was caught red-handed assaulting a woman on CCTV yet he walked freely.

There is something called Karma and it will come for Fatoyinbo hotter than fire. We will all be here.

Busola Dakolo should be like me. Wake up in the midnight and pray naked! Focus on one prayer point and cry.

She would have lost outside Naija too. Cases like these are always hard to prove. Especially when it gets to court after a long period of time. Just like Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Ford case in the United States. She lost also.
