Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo who is the founder and senior pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly is currently undergoing investigation at the Police headquarters over alleged rape case levelled against him by Busola, a photographer and wife of popular singer, Timi Dakolo.
This was disclosed by the Force Public Relations Officer of the state, DCP Frank Mba during interview session with Newsmen on Thursday.
Yes, he is in our custody, he responded to one of the questions he was asked by newsmen.
When asked if the pastor was being detained, the Force spokesman said it was too early to say.
He also said the investigation of Fatoyinbo was proof that the police had not swept the matter under the carpet as was being insinuated in some quarters.
The police spokesman said, “We have done a whole lot of background investigations and spoken to a whole lot of people before now. It was a deliberate investigative procedure to bring him last. Although we may invite others later depending on how investigations go.When asked why it took so long for the pastor to be invited, Mba said the police wanted to get statements from several witnesses and then build a solid case before inviting him.
“We were not in a hurry to bring him because we wanted to have enough background information that would be used in interrogating him. We have done an extensive investigation.”
Mrs. Dakolo accused him of raping her 20 years ago while she was still a teenager.
