Fatoyinbo: group asks
police to probe rape allegation.
The Nigerian police should
invite Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly(COZA) for
interrogation over the rape allegation made against him by Busola Dakolo.
The Coalition of Public
Interest Lawyers and Advocates (COPA) made the call on Friday night and asked
the police to treat the allegation with utmost urgency and not sweep it under
the carpet.
Busola Dakolo, celebrity
photographer, in a TV interview accused Fatoyinbo of raping her when she was 16
in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Pelumi Olajengbesi, COPA
convener, said the police ought to probe the allegation, given that rape is a
criminal offence.
“By a community reading or
Sections 4 & 24 of the Police Act, the Nigeria Police Force must urgently invite
Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo to appear before it to out to rest all sundry matters
related thereto this matter. This is a demand,” the statement read.
“Regardless, the force must
begin a thorough independent investigation of the allegations against Pastor
Fatoyinbo given that rape is a criminal matter squarely within their purview
and mandate as the law enforcement arm of the people.
“The Nigeria Police Force
are to whereupon make its findings public and proceed to prosecute the culprit,
without delay, where it’s investigations turn up sufficient material for a case
of rape.
“Twenty-Four Public
Interests Lawyers and Advocates have volunteer and are poised with alacrity to
undertake at no cost the cause of Mrs. Busola Dakolo in this matter even as
progressive efforts are underway to facilitate and sustain a channel of
communication between us and the Dakolo family in such a truly trying time.”
