Attempts Being Made To Silence My Rape Case Against Fatoyinbo, Busola Dakolo alleges

Nigerian photographer, Busola Dakolo has accused the Ministry of Justice of allegedly attempting to silence her rape case against the senior pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The wife of popular musician Timi Dakolo who issued a statement via her Instagram on Thursday, said the Ministry of Justice has been silent since the case was referred to them for prosecution by the police.

“We have written a letter but for over a month we have no response,” she said.

“Instead, my lawyers and my family have heard about all manner of manipulation and foul play being attempted to stop the ministry from beginning prosecution immediately. Or even to get the police report manipulated.”

She wrote, “Today, I have a major update. The police has concluded its investigation. And handed over its report to the Ministry of Justice in Abuja for onward prosecution of Biodun Fatoyinbo. He clearly has a case to answer. But there has been silence from the ministry. Silence.

“A loud silence! We have written a letter but for over a month we have no response. Instead, my lawyers and my family have heard about all manner of manipulation and foul play being attempted to stop the ministry from beginning prosecution immediately. Or even to get the police report manipulated. My name is Busola Dakolo, a survivor of one of the most horrific acts -rape. My voice will not be shut down. My case will not be silenced.

She appreciated some staff members of the Nigeria Police, the Ministry of Justice and the Nigerian Public who have shown solidarity in her cause.

In June 2019, Busola, 35, accused Fatoyinbo of raping her – twice – before she turned 18.
