Busola Dakolo, a photographer, who accused Biodun Fatoyinbo, senior pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), of raping her while she was a minor, has filed a formal complaint by the Nigeria Police.
According to The Nation, Dakolo filed the complaint with the police on Thursday, meaning that the police will carry out an investigation into the allegation.
In a video interview that has now gone viral on the internet, Dakolo, who is the wife of Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo, claimed that the pastor had sexual knowledge of her when she was 17 in Ilorin. And that it was against her wish.
On Thursday, another former staff of the church also accused Fatoyinbo of having sexual relations with her without her consent.
The lady, who does not want her name in print, said the incident happened in 2017 beyond the shores of Nigeria.
According to her, she was in an undisclosed country, working for the church when Fatoyinbo invited her to his house and allegedly raped her.
Fatoyinbo apologised after the alleged rape, and she had to keep working with him and the church, she narrated.
She added that Modele, Fatoyinbo’s wife, is complicit in the rape allegations, explaining that she was an ordinary member of the church for about five years until Modele made contact with her and brought her close to the family.
The lady said everything done to bring her into the family was deliberate.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Fayotoyinbo announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the church pulpit.
