COZA: Nigerians React As Court Rules On Busola Dakolo, Fatoyinbo Case

The ruling on the case between Busola Dakolo, the wife of singer Timi Dakolo and Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) has triggered diverse reactions from Nigerians.

Naijaparry had reported that Busola Dakolo ‘s rape suit against Pastor Fatoyinbo of COZA was ruled out by a High Court in Bwari, Abuja on Thursday.

This is coming after Fatoyinbo filed an objection and affidavit maintaining that Busola’s claim was to tarnish his image.

The celebrity photographer had accused Fatoyinbo of raping her on two different occasions in 2002 in her family house when she was a teenager.

According to Fatoyinbo, the photographer had contacted the press before making the accusation and brought the civil action even while the Police’s investigation was ongoing.

However, in her judgement, Justice Oathman Musa held that the matter amounted to injustice, describing the case as an abuse of judicial process.

She added that the case was empty and purely sentimental, as the case was aimed more at cruelty than obtaining justice.

The court also ordered Busola to pay N1 million for “cruelty to the pastor” and held that the fine should have been 10 times more because the court’s time was wasted.

The celebrity photographer had sued Fatoyinbo, demanding that the COZA Pastor publishes an apology to her on the front page of at least two national newspapers, noting that the apology should also run on two national television stations for seven days running consecutively.
