Busola Dakolo has demanded
a letter of apology from COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, whom she accused of
raping her when she was 17 years old.
This is contained in a suit
filed by lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi and Co of Law corridor, before a Federal
Court in Abuja.
According to Busola Dakolo,
the rape affected her marital sex life.
Punch reports that the
statement issued by Biodun Fatoyinbo in denial of the allegation affected her
by inflicting emotional distress on her.
Olajengbesi said, “The
claimant avers that she was immediately terrified and in shock while the
defendant pinned her down on the couch following which he caressed her body,
fondled her breasts, pulled her pant, quickly half-pulled his trousers and
ordered her to allow him have his way with her.
“The claimant avers that
the defendant in the process used his hand to cover her mouth, thereby muffling
her screams. The claimant avers that the defendant made efforts to penetrate
her vagina, whilst she struggled to fight him off; however, the defendant
overpowered her and penetrated her vagina and had sexual intercourse with her.
“The claimant avers that
while she was in shock of the incident which had rendered her befuddled and
mortified, the defendant rushed out of the living room area of her family home
and briefly returned with a bottle of soda (Krest) which he forced down her
throat thereby making her breathing difficult.”
He added, “The defendant
further proceeded to threaten the claimant’s life by telling her he would
greatly harm her if she ever revealed the incident to anyone. The claimant
avers that following her second ordeal with the defendant, she became dejected,
kept to herself and hated herself, developed utter loathing for everything
around her and withdrew to herself and away from all spiritual activities of
the church.
“The claimant avers that
despite getting married, she continues to live in constant fear, suffers
several series of mood swings, emotional and psychological distress, and also
worries about her safety. The claimant avers that her marital sex life has been
affected negatively as a result of her terrible experience with the defendant,
thereby resulting in her continuous emotional and psychological distress, which
has not ceased.”
