A High Court in Bwari, Abuja on Thursday threw out the case
filed by Photographer, Busola Dakolo against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).
This came after Fatoyinbo
filed an objection and an affidavit at the Court reiterating that Busola’s
statements were false and concocted to embarrass, scandalise and ridicule him
He argued that from the inception, she sought the attention of
the media and press, and brought the civil action even while the Police’s
investigation was ongoing.
Justice Othman A. Musa in her
ruling said 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 than obtaining justice.
The court also 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.
Dakolo had filed the suit
against Fatoyinbo after she claimed that the COZA pastor raped her 20 years ago
when she was 16 years in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Fatoyinbo denied the
allegations and even took a break from the pulpit and later came back to
ministration.
