IGP orders transfer of rape case between the Dakolos and Pastor fatoyinbo to lagos

Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed orders the transfer of rape case between Pastor Fatoyinbo and the Dakolos to Lagos. This is coming barely 48-hours after the police invitation was served to Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola. The manner in which it was served led to another stint of outrage on social media. The IGP, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered that petitions from Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, and that of the Dakolos, be merged and investigated at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Counsel to the Dakolos, Mr. Femi Falana confirmed the report of the case transfer and according to him, this was because the singer’s family were the first to petition the police on the rape case. He is assured that justice will be served.

Timi Dakolo alleged that the letter of ‘invitation for questioning’ he was served over the weekend, came after Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly bribed investigating officials to delay summons, and also pushed for the case to be transferred to Abuja.
