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.
