Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo, is currently being interrogated at Police Force CID Headquarters in Abuja over rape allegations made by Mrs Busola Dakolo.
Recall that Busola Dakolo accused Biodun Fatoyinbo of taking advantage of her vulnerability and raping her 20 years ago, an allegation he has denied.
It was gathered that detectives chose to invite the pastor after following other clues to verify certain claims.
The pastor has been subjected to interrogations for several hours today by a team specifically tasked to handle the case by the Inspector General of Police (IG) Mohammed Adamu through the DIG Investigation.
It was gathered that the detectives may detain the pastor unless there were guarantees he would not jump administrative bail by the police.
Confirming the development, Police spokesman Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner (DCP) said It was too early to say if Fatoyinbo would be detained, adding that only the investigators can arrive at that decision based on their findings.
He said: “Yes, he is currently at FCIID undergoing interrogation. We have been conducting discreet investigation. We are making efforts to reach one or two other pastors she alleged intervened then.
“It was a deliberate investigative strategy to bring Fatoyinbo much later after we must have gotten other things. Some Nigerians were thinking we did not want to talk to him but that is not so.
“He is with us now and I cannot say if he will be detained nor not. Investigators will have to determine that. They might choose to detain him or grant him bail while investigation continues.
“We have the statement of Busola Dakolo already. She earlier made a statement to the police. Nigerians are assured that we will diligently investigate and conclude this case.”
After 20 years how you police investigate it !?
