Human right lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has denied reports that his chamber has taken up the Dakolo’s rape case against senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo.

There were reports that Falana had taken over the brief as their legal counsel But Falana explained that he only prevailed on the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to investigate Dakolo’s complaint.

Falana said: ‘Timi and Mrs Busola Dakolo wrote their petition before contacting us. When they met us, they expressed the fear that their petition might not be investigated. We intervened by requesting the police authorities to investigate the complaint. The IG has already granted the request.’

On Monday, the Inspector General of Police, ordered the Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), DIG Michael Ogbizi, to immediately take-over the on-going investigations.
