Joseph Omoniyi
Following police invitation of Busola, a famous Nigerian photographer, the husband, Timi Dakolo who is a popular soul-singer, has cried out over an alleged attempt to abduct his wife.
Speaking in a press briefing in Lagos on Sunday, Dakolo said that since his wife decided to seek justice over the rape allegation against Pastor Ā Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, their lives have been under threat.
He, however, pointed out that his lawyer had been director to respondĀ to the invitation of the police. In his words: āAs a father and a protector of my home; I have decided to come out and speak publicly against this harassment, bully and maliciousness that we have received as law abiding citizens of Nigeria just because my wife decided to speak her truth and I believe her and stand by her.ā
“I will never leave her side and I will do my best to protect her. The good people of Nigeria who have shown us so much love deserve to know what is happening.
Dakolo continues: āOn behalf of my family; I would like to share a few highlights especially about the attempt yesterday to abduct my wife or probably me if I was down-stair because the people that came to our house were carry guns.ā Ā
āNobody comes to drop letter with a vehicle that has tinted glasses and have men with guns that are trailing a car. When they followed my wife into the compound, someone said my Oga wants to see you in the bus. She said no, I donāt know your Oga, who are you?ā āAnd they now said that they wanted to give us a letter. I have already seen the bus earlier, the bus had been parked on the street for a long time but I did not suspect anything, It did not cross my mind.
“As she came back from the road and was about to enter the compound, the bus followed her and blocked my gate. It is a sign that this people have been trialing and following her all the while.ā āIf she had not insisted that no I donāt know you, I cannot follow you, we now said Oga what do you want. You donāt just come into peoplesā compound and said you just came to drop letter with an armed man. It is not possible.ā he stressed.
Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola Dakolo on SaturdayĀ said that they were being intimidated as Policemen stormedĀ their home in Lagos today. Timi on his instagramĀ handle wrote that he will fight for his wife and his children saying: āI will fight for my wife and my children -itās the promise I made with my life and one I intend to keep .I will defend them from the unrelenting attack of a weak man who thinks he can use money and power to cover for all of his crimes.ā The police on Saturday invited Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola, for interrogation over alleged falsehood.
