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 Fatoyinbo.
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.
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 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. (NAN)
