Busola Dakolo, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo, has said she’s still haunted by the damage inflicted on her after COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, allegedly raped her when she was a teenager.
Busola stated this in an application filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja to dismiss the preliminary objection filed against the rape case she instituted against Fatoyinbo in June.
The clergyman on September 20th, filed a motion asking the court to strike out the rape case filed against him by Busola on grounds that the allegation is ”incompetent and frivolous”.
Fatoyinbo argued that since the suit wasn’t filed within three years of the occurrence of the event complained about, the suit should be dismissed without the need to hear it as it had become ”Statute barred”, that is, a case that is no longer legally enforceable owing to a prescribed period of limitation having lapsed.
Busola in her repsonse to Fatoyinbo’s application, told the court in a sworn affidavit filed by her counsel, Pelumi Olajengbesi, that the injuries, wrongs and damage done against her by Fatoyinbo continue to haunt her and cause her fresh emotional injury.
Responding to Fatoyinbo’s claim that she released the legal documents of her suit against him to the media, Busola said she never wanted a media coverage adding that the suit was not leaked to the press by her or anyone close to her.
The supporting affidavit read in part,
Busola in June 2019, granted a tell-all interview in which she accused Fatoyinbo of molesting her. She has asked him to write a personal apology letter to her showing honest remorse for his action. She has also asked the clergyman to pay the sum of N10 million to her as the cost of prosecuting the case.
Fatoyinbo has since denied the allegation and has accused Busola of trying to extort money from him.
