BREAKING: Court Dismisses Busola Dakolo’s Case Against Fatoyinbo

A fine of 1 million was also awarded by the court against Dakolo.

It held that the fine should have been 10 times more because the court’s time was wasted.

Dakolo had filed the suit against Fatoyinbo after she claimed that the COZA pastor raped her when she was 16 years in Ilorin, Kwara State.

Busola, wife of Musician, Timi Dakolo in a suit filed in September accused Fatoyinbo of rape, adding that the alleged action of the pastor, as well as his denial in a statement adversely, affected her marital sex life.

She, therefore, demanded “a personal letter of apology” from the cleric to show honest remorse for his misdeeds.

Fatoyinbo’s lawyer, Alex Iziyon (SAN), however, argued that the prayer could not be granted, describing it as a frivolous suit.

Justice Oathman Musa in his ruling held that the matter amounts to injustice and an abuse of judicial process adding that the case is empty and purely sentimental.

Justice Musa said that the case was aimed more at cruelty than obtaining justice.
