Most commentators on the Busola/Biodun rape saga are missing the point.
Mrs Dakolo didn't just wake one morning after about 20 years and decided to go public with the revelation, rather she did so to clear her name and possibly save her marriage.
Recall that few weeks back her husband - Timi Dakolo had taken a swipe at same Pastor Biodun for his sexual escapades with female members of his church and one of the responses he got was an insinuation to the effect that his wife had affairs not only with Pastor Biodun but with other Pastors before her marriage to him and further questioned the paternity of their children. This prompted Busola's exposé and justifiably so.
Apart from going public now, she also alleged in the interview that she had previously gone public with the allegation years back, howbeit at the family and Church levels and names of witnesses some of whom acted as mediators have been mentioned. So it is not totally correct to say she waited for 20 years before going public with the allegation.
On whether they had consensual sex or she was raped, if indeed she was 16 years old at the time,it will be immaterial whether or not she gave her consent for the sex to happen, since in the eyes of the law being a minor she was incapable of giving consent - a case of rape will be established.The proof of her age at the time will be a matter of fact and material evidence including her birth certificate will tendered.
Clearly the intention of Mrs Dakolo wasn't to get Pastor Biodun prosecuted as some seem to understand it, but rather to clear her name of the allegation of dating Pastors before her marriage to Timi and Timi fathering other people's children.
The only threat of a legal action is coming from Pastor Biodun and I guess he will be suing for defamation of Character and claiming damages. If he does that (which I seriously doubt) he makes the job very easy for Mrs Dakolo who will only need to plead justification and go ahead to prove that they had sex(whether consensual or forced) when she was a minor and the claim will be defeated.
What with so many allegations of sexual seductions, harassments,assaults and inducements hanging on Pastor Biodun's neck, he will be minced meat the moment he runs to the courts for redress.
