The police have confirmed that it served official invitation letters on Timi Dakolo, singer-songwriter, and Busola Dakolo, his wife.
In a flurry of tweets on Sunday, the security outfit said the couple were invited for questioning in connection to the highly publicized “rape” case involving Biodun Fatoyinbo, founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).
Fatoyinbo has been in the eye of the storm after Busola, a celebrity photographer, had alleged that the clergyman sexually defiled her when she was a teenager.
Although Fatoyinbo denied the allegation, the pastor stepped aside for the issue to be investigated.
In a letter dated July 18, from the special tactical squad of the inspector-general of police (IGP), the police said it was investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, mischief and threat to life.
The couple were directed to report on July 23 for an interview.
Shortly after the invitation, the gifted singer took to his Instagram page to declare that he would never allow the police to intimidate his wife, children or any member of his family.
“Our lawyers had told us to get ready for this letter. We have long been ready for this type of institutionalized intimidation and dirtiness,” he wrote.
“Investigating officials have frustrated as a result of underhand delay? Dirty bloggers are fabricating things that cover the truth, going to the IG’s people under dark to force this case to be posted to Abuja? Now this: a false investigation in Abuja when our own petition filed since June has not been answered and NO INVITATION HAS BEEN MADE TO THE ACCUSED IN A RAPE CASE????! NOT ONE MOVEMENT TOWARDS JUSTICE??? Rubbishing the legal and criminal system?
