More than 7,999 Tweets have been recorded on twitter while the responses on Facebook and Instagram are huge since Busola Timi-Dakolo, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo went to town to accuse pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of raping her in their family house at age 16.
Many online users are describing it as Holy rape because of the pastors alleged involvement in the saga and Busola’s claim that Fatoyinbo told her she should be happy he had unsolicited sex with him.
The twitter exchanges on the matter may be inching to 10,000 before the end of Saturday.
“Immediately I opened the door, he just pushed me. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t utter any words. He just pushed me to one of the chairs in my living room,” she said, as she recounted the incident to Chude Jideonwo who interviewed her.
“I’ve never raped a woman in my life,”says Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo while responding to the allegation.
Fatoyinbo has also threatened court action to save his face, even as some church members are saying they were ready for battle with the Dakolos who they say were throwing stones even when they live in glass houses.
For instance, they have accused Busola of having sex with her choir master as a chorister which resulted to her having two babies before she got married to the singer, Timi Dakolo.
Adewale Aladejana, a member of COZA also faulted Busola’s claim.
“Dakolo and Busola are not saints. She was a choir member and Timi was a choir leader in church when she got pregnant with her first baby. Timi denied that they weren’t having an affair and then she got pregnant the second time and that was when the church forced them to get married.
“This chorister was sleeping with her choirmaster and was a baby mama with two kids before they got married,” he said.
Minders of Civil Society Organisations and particularly women and children related bodies have called out Fatoyinbo to say his side of the story with many of them describing the pastors of many Pentecostal churches as fake and agents of the devil.
