COZA'S HEAD PASTOR, PASTOR BIODUN FATOYINBO WINS CASE AGAINST BUSOLA DAKOLO AS COURT DECLARES THE CASE ABUSE OF COURT PROCESSES

Except the Dakolo's would want to take this case of alleged rape further, the court has since declared against them in their case of rape and given verdict favoring Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, who was the accused in the case before. In delivering the judgment, the court even went ahead to ask Busola Dakolo to pay damages to the tune of N1m, that is one million Naira to the accused.

Many months back, the gorgeous wife of ace musician Timi Dakolo by name Busola, a mother of 3 & a photographer had in a very damning accusation that went viral and got so much traction and thereby elicited extraordinary reactions some in support of the man of God and much against him, had accused Pastor Fatoyinbo of raping her about twice, when she was still under aged in Ilorin, Kwara State before COZA became popular. Though the man of God had vehemently denied the allegations then as been untrue and unfounded, but that Busola came out then alone to make the accusation, had done the much required damage, bringing about questions on the type of person the man of God is and his character.

It was in the aftermath of the accusation against him and the uproar that followed it, that made Pastor Fatoyinbo to have temporarily step down then, so that investigations could be carried out. After which he had gone back to his church to a massive welcome. At a point there were gatherings around his churches in protest then, to make him to resign by force

Now with a court of competent jurisdiction declaring him not guilty of the accusations made against him and in fact giving him damages too, to be paid by the claimant-Busola Dakolo, it seems like the worst, which nearly ended his pastoral calling has now come to an end. Now is the time for him to move on, and move forward with more vigor and conviction in his ministry, after surviving a major scare of extraordinary proportion. For those who believed in him and trusted him, throughout his ordeal, this court's declaration, is actually that much needed vindication they had been awaiting and that they needed so much.

A Federal High Court sitting in Bwari, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, dismissed Busola Dakolo’s rape allegation case against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) and immediately awarded a cost of N1m against her

Busola had accused the dandy and quite popular Pastor of rape in an exclusive interview on Ynaija TV, several months ago.

The pastor who had maintained his innocence all through, had filed an objection to counter Busola, saying her statements were false and were concocted to defame his character.

But in a court ruling, the charges were dismissed and damages  awarded to the tune of N1m against the claimant, Mrs. Busola Dakolo. According to the verdict given, the N1m cost ought to be have been more, but 'the court didn't want to dissuade the real rape victims from coming forward to tender their claims'.

According to Justice Oathman A. Musa in her judgment, the matter amounted to injustice, and an abuse of judicial process as the case was empty and purely sentimental, adding that the case was aimed more at cruelty rather than obtaining justice.

The court then awarded costs of N1,000,000 against Busola Dakolo and held that the fine should have been 10 times more because the court’s time was wasted.

With this now. Would COZA or the Pastor of COZA now pursue a case against Busola Dakolo and others who had condemned him without giving him a fair thought or trial? 

WHAT A VICTORY FOR JAMES ONANEFE IBORI AS HE WINS UK CASE AND GETS A STAGGERING £1

What a victory for the convicted felon and former Governor of Delta State, the warlord Chief James Onanefe Ibori, who recently too the British Secretary of State to court for unlawful detention and who won the case.

For that win the "highly respected politician" and kingmaker, who took to his heels from Nigeria years back to escape prosecution won a staggering £1 Pound in damages. He had escaped to Dubai the UAE, where he had an extraordinary amount of investments​, but was surprisingly extradited later to the UK ,where he was convicted and jailed for fraud. Curiously he had worked in the same UK years before as a store cashier.

Though the worth of victory monetarily wasn't extraordinary, the important aspect of the victory at least was that, it showed that he wasn't deported from the Queen's land, but he was rather "allowed", to leave voluntarily on his own volition. The unlawful detention victory came about because he was detained for a day and some hours more, after his initial release from prison after finishing his term for fraud, which was in excess of £50 million pounds.

Now that he has at least won this colossal and monumental victory, especially since returning to Nigeria, that might actually clear the way for him to contest for any elective post anytime he wants. Chief IBORII has an incontestable number of followers, ready at any time to lead him to victory.

Congratulations to the great man of the people, for this very important victory. May more Victory like this come subsequently.  

LAGOS HOUSE SPEAKER'S ROCK OF GIBRALTAR

It has not been the best of times, for the Honorable Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly-Hon Adeyemi Ikuforoji, what with the 54 count of money laundering case involving the sum of #773.3 million Naira,  he and his PA has been beset with courtesy the EFCC. The case has been dragging on for quite a while now and we can bet it is disturbing to a very large extent the ambition of the Speaker to vie for the post of the Executive Governor of the State of Excellence come the next election into the Alausa State house. 

At the most recent court hearing on the case, the speaker & his assistant -Oyebode Atoyebi  were granted bail in the colossal sum of #1 Billion Naira each, many had thought that amount was too humongous as a bail and had thought that the speaker and his PA might find it hard to meet the bail condition. Though for a day they couldn't: As the speaker & PA had to rest in the very comfortable enclave of the EFCC for a day. A few of his very liquid friends took it upon themselves to stand sureties for their good friends. The rock of Gibraltar in this particular write-up is a metaphor that refers to those very few, who have stood as rock of support & confidence for their friend in the face of a seemingly insurmountable mountain (# 1billion Naira each). 

Check out the role call of Sureties for the Speaker. Each of the sureties were in the sum of #500 Million Naira each- Alhaji Taiwo Oludayo, Proprietor of Oludayo International Agency. Who owns a landed property at Kofo Abayomi Avenue, Apapa, Lagos. 

Mr. Adeyemo Abdul-Yekini. Who owns a landed property at Block......Isheri North Residential Scheme in Kosofe.

The embattled speaker's PA-Oyebode Atoyebi was also not left out. He too also perfected his bail application. Thanks to the magnanimity of Chief Hammed Dosunmu, the MD of Williams & Co. Development Works, located at Oju Olobun, on Lagos Island & Mrs. Ajibola Lawal, the MD of Fiona Lawton Nigeria Ltd. In Magodo GRA, Shangisha, Lagos. 

Like it is commonly said, ''A friend in need, is a friend indeed''. This 4 have shown they are friends indeed. Real rock of Gibraltar.

Can the speaker still vie for the Governorship seat, with this case still hanging on his neck like an albatross? Time will tell, let's wait and see.

The case meanwhile has been adjourned till September 25, 2013 for trial proper.
