COZA Rape Scandal: Pastor Fatoyinbo files counter-claim, demands N50m from Busola Dakolo

The Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo, on Friday, approached a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Bwari, adducing reasons why the suit alleging that he forcefully raped Busola, wife of celebrity musician, Timi Dakolo in 2002, should be dismissed.

In a preliminary objection he filed through his team of lawyers led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Alex Iziyon, the embattled cleric, maintained that Busola’s suit was frivolous and statute barred.

He argued that all the reliefs Busola sought against him in the suit marked CV/2817/18, were not grantable.

It will be recalled that Mrs. Dakolo had in a Writ of Summons she filed before the court on September 6, alleged that the COZA pastor had on September 23, 2002, raped her.

She told the court that the pastor forcefully pushed her until she fell on the couch close to the front door of her house after which he pinned her to the couch, undressed her, “caressing her body, handling her breasts, exposing his genitals to her glare, forcing a bottle of soda (Krest) down her throat thereby making her breathing difficult, all the while covering her mouth to muffle her screams, and thereafter threatened her life”.

The claimant equally alleged that the defendant sexually abused her again on September 26, 2002, even as she urged the court to declare that pastor Fatoyinbo’s action was “outrageous and reckless, and have caused the Claimant continuous emotional distress and amount to intentional infliction of emotional distress”.

Aside praying the court to direct the defendant to publish a “clearly worded apology” to her on the front page of at least two National Newspapers and two National Televisions for seven days running consecutively, Mrs. Dakolo, aslo demanded that the defendant should be compelled to address a personal letter of apology to her showing honest remorse “for his misdeeds”.

More so, she prayed the court to award her a cost of N10million.

Meanwhile, in his preliminary objection, pastor Fatoyinbo maintained that the suit was grossly incompetent.

He further argued that the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain a suit that is frivolous and amounted to “palpable abuse of court process”.

In a 14-paragraphed affidavit that was deposed to by one Ademola Adetuberu who identified himself as Executive Senior Assistant to Pastor Fatoyinbo, he told the court that the substratum of the claimant’s suit was “the mere purported allegation of emotional and psychological distress as a result of the said purported mere allegation of rape against the Defendant”.

‘That I am aware that the Claimant made an allegation of rape and emotional distress before the Nigeria Police Force against the Defendant which is still a subject of investigation”.

He told the court that Mrs. Dakolo and her lawyer had after they filed the suit, leaked the documents to both electronic and print media organizations, with the story widely shared on the internet “to embarrass and scandalize the Defendant”.

Consequently, in his counter-claim, Pastor Fatoyinbo prayed the court to award a cost of N50m, jointly and severally against the Claimant and her Solicitor.

Busola had about two months ago, made a shocking revelation in a detailed interview with Chude Jideonwo, a lawyer and journalist, recounting how as a teenager, she was allegedly repeatedly raped by the Abuja-based cleric.

Pastor Fatoyinbo had since denied the allegation, insisting that it was a deliberate effort to damage his reputation.

SECURITY ALERT

Yesterday I went home late from an official function and I decided to use an Okada (bike). On arriving home I alighted, paid the guy and left...

As I approached the gate, I saw the okada guy following, I quickly changed the direction and started moving away from the gate but the guy continued following me....

I moved faster the guy increased his speed then I realised I was in deep shit. I began to run, seeing him behind me I ran faster but he kept on following me even riding faster....

I got tired and decided to stop, turned around and faced him...

I made up my mind that one of us must go down but I will fight it to the end. So I asked him

"Why are you following me?"

The guy replied softly "give me my helmet......."

Make nobody shout for me o, I get headache!

This is a case of the hunter becoming the hunter to Mrs Dakolo

Meanwhile,
Police Spokesman Mr Frank MBA has advised rape victims to resist the urge to take their bath immediately after they are raped. According to him, doing so may destroy important evidence needed to convict the rapist. In a writeup by Mba, he advised:

"Preserve all physical evidence after rape. Do not take your bath or change the clothes you wore during the rape incident.

"This may destroy essential components of evidence necessary to establish your case and convict the rapist.

"Preserve all torn materials such as underwears, bras or other apparels. Similarly, all blood stained or seminal fluid-stained items should also be preserved.

"Personal items belonging to the suspects picked up from the scene should also be preserved. Where possible, the scene of rape also known as the scene of crime should be preserved to enable investigators review it in its uncontaminated form."
