Support mounts for Busola Dakolo should Pastor Fatoyinbo sue over rape accusations

More people are rising in defense of Busola Dakolo against COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo who is threatening to drag her to court for claiming he raped her at the age of 16.

Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo had threatened to sue Timi and Busola Dakolo in his reply after Busola recounted on YNaija TV about how the clergy allegedly raped her in her home while her mother and other siblings were away on a trip.

Rising to her defense, Dr Joe Abah, a public service reformer, said he looks forward to Pastor Fatoyinbo suing Busola and even went further to reveal that he has set some money aside to defend Busola in court.

He tweeted: “I have seen Biodun Fatoyinbo’s statement. I look forward to him carrying out his threat to sue Busola Dakolo. As Mrs Dakolo doesn’t have a church that can fund her defence, I have set aside a little money to contribute to her defence. Please do so too.  #IStandWithBusolaDakolo.”
