LAGOS, Nigeria – The Nigerian Police today confirmed invitation of Busola and Timi Dakolo to Abuja over the raging sexual abuse scandal involving Biodun Fatoyinbo, a Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly(COZA).
Busola Dakolo
Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola had alleged on video that the pastor sexually abused her on several occasion, first when he visited her on a particular morning while she was on night gown and pushed her into a sofa to have fun with her.
Biodun Fatoyinbo has denied the allegation, noting that not even as an unbeliever will be rape anybody. But in a statement, Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba said the invitation is sequel to an on-going police investigation touching on the wider and highly publicized case involving Bisola Dakolo, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and others.
But Timi Dakolo disagrees with Frank Mba. According to him, the police sent a bus load of questionable armed “policemen” and shady men lying in wait to intimidate his wife and children today, forcing their way into his home?
“Is that how the REAL police delivers a letter ? This is best you can do? This is why all the hurting women and families haven’t come out with HORRIBLE THINGS DONE TO THEM???!!”, he said.
But Frank thinks otherwise:
“It is important however to note that a Police Invitation Letter is not synonymous with a Warrant of Arrest, and must not be construed to be one. Rather, it is a polite investigative tool used in eliciting information voluntarily from parties to aid police investigations”, he said.
According to him, members of the public should see it as a legitimate act in line with the constitutional mandate of the police, which among other things include the investigation of all complaints brought before it.
He said the Inspector General of Police, IGP MA Adamu NPM, mni has appealed for calm, and is reassuring Nigerians that the Police Force under his watch will remain professional, impartial and unreservedly committed to the pursuit of justice in this case and all other cases before it.
Meanwhile, Timi Dakolo has accused the police of double dealing. For him what the police has done is nothing but false investigation.
Timi Dakol said he filed a case of rape at the Force Headquarters in Abuja against the alleged randy pastor since June adding that up till now no invitation has been extended to the person accused of rape.
“A false investigation in Abuja when our own 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?”, he said and has vowed to fight in defence of his wife and children.
“I will fight for my wife and my children -it’s the promise I made with my life and one I intend to keep .I will defend them from the unrelenting attack of a weak man who thinks he can use money and power to cover for all of his crimes”, he said.
“Our lawyers had told us to get ready for this letter. We have long been ready for this type of institutionalized intimidation and dirtiness. Investigating officials have frustrated as a result of underhand delay?
“Dirty bloggers are fabricating things that cover the truth , going to the IG’s people under dark to force this case to be posted to Abuja? Now this: a false investigation in Abuja when our own 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 questionable armed “policemen” and shady men lying in wait to intimidate my wife and children today, forcing their way into my home? Is that how the REAL police delivers a letter ? This is best you can do? This is why all the hurting women and families havent come out with HORRIBLE THINGS DONE TO THEM???!!”, he said.
“You picked the wrong one and you picked the wrong time. Nigerians are more awake than you think .
“I will fight for my wife and my children -it’s the promise I made with my life and one I intend to keep .I will defend them from the unrelenting attack of a weak man who thinks he can use money and power to cover for all of his crimes.
Like I said ,we have since been ready .
GIVE US THE FIRE, THEN WATCH ME WORK!
