The Senior Pastor and Founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, has said that he will not be interfacing with Mrs Busola Dakolo in the law court over the claim of assault leveled against him.
It would be reviewed that Mrs Busola Dakolo, spouse of Nigeria’s moving vocalist Timi Dakolo had hauled Fatoyinbo, to court over her assault claims.
A FCT High Court requested the Pastor to show up before it inside 14 days of the administration or judgment might be given in his nonappearance.
Be that as it may, the Pastor through his attorney Mr Alex Izinyon, SAN, in a starter complaint dated Sept. 20, said the case was documented out of time.
“The claimant’s suit is statute-barred therefore this Honourable Court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain same; the suit is frivolous and a palpable abuse of court process.
“The suit has no cause of action for this Honourable Court to adjudicate upon; the reliefs sought in this instant suit cannot be granted, therefore this suit is incompetent,” Fatoyinbo said.
He accordingly requested to be granted the expense of N50 million against Busola and her solicitor, while mentioning the court reject the suit for maltreatment of legal procedure.
In the interim, Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi, lead counsel to Dakolo, when reached to respond on the fundamental protest documented by Fatoyinbo, he declined remark on the issue however said the COZA Pastor should meet them in court.
Then again, Busola Dakolo is looking for the request for the court to propel Fatoyinbo to distribute an obviously worded conciliatory sentiment to her on the first page of at any rate two (2) National Newspapers and two National Televisions for seven days running successively.
She had two months prior made a stunning disclosure in a face by face meeting with Chude Jideonwo, a legal counselor and writer of how the Abuja-based minister assaulted her as a young person.
She asserted that Fatoyinbo had sex with her on Sept. 23 and 26, 2002 made her consistent passionate misery and sum deliberate punishment of enthusiastic trouble.
The viral video report had set web based life and other online stages ablaze, bringing out stun, backfire and reactions from Nigerians, particularly the Christian people group.
Minister Fatoyinbo was confined during cross examination over the assault charge at the Force Headquarters in Abuja in August, however was later discharged on bail.
Fatoyinbo had likewise boycotted the board set up by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) to research the assault charge against him, guaranteeing that he was prompted by his legal advisors not to show up.
