I have been following the alleged rape incident between Mrs Bisola Dakolo, the wife of musician Timi Dakolo, and Pastor Biodun, the Senior Pastor at COZA, where Mrs Dakolo alleged that Pastor Biodun had multiple canal knowledge of her without her consent as a then 17 years old teenager, an incident that allegedly happened some 20 years ago.

I have watched the pronouncements of some social media jurists and popular figures, including some politicians, musicians, influencers and actors, with most pronouncing judgement against the accused (Pastor Biodun) and a few others "standing with the accused".

May I add my voice to this subject...

1. Does Being A Philanderer Makes One A Rapist?

A couple of people, including Mr Timi Dakolo, the husband of Bisola, have accused Pastor Biodun to be a man that engage in inappropriate relationship with several female members of his COZA church, while that remains an unproven allegation, some commentators pronounced the pastor as "guilty" of rape because of his too many "womanising scandals", while some others narrated his philandering days in Ilorin, Kwara state, where he allegedly had multiple romps with several ladies of loosed virtues. While the allegations/testimony may be true, half truth or completely untrue, it still does not help the allegation of Mrs Bisola.

Rape is non-consented sexual relations and it is a criminal offence. Having multiple sexual partners is not a crime under the law irrespective of moral or spiritual opinion.

2. Bisola Dakolo Herself Was Accused of Having Sexual Relations With COZA Clerics

On May 30, a certain female with Instagram handle @elenapipper informed Mr Timi Dakolo that his own wife, Bisola, who incidentally is the accused of Pastor Biodun, was involved in illicit sexual relationship with Pastors of COZA church and some of her choir colleagues. While the claim of Elena remains an allegation, I believe that "2+2" should be put together by social media jurists if their intent is to give social media justice. I am yet to see the response of Timi and Bisola to that allegation and in all honesty, I expect the Dakolos to sue Elena for defamation/libel so as to prove their innocence- just like several social media jurists have challenged Pastor Biodun to do.

3. The Media Is Not The Appropriate Place To Lodge Criminal Complaint

I have said it umpteenth time that the media, be it traditional media or social media, is not a police station to lodge criminal complaints. The traditional media is interested in selling papers while the social media is highly interested in cashing out on trending issues. Popular faces and celebrities are interested in jumping on trending issues so as to stay relevant while influencers are interested in swaying perception. Majority of these commentators and social media jurists aren't interested in vindicating the innocent and to bring the real guilty party to JUSTICE. I heard of a planned protest at COZA Church by some so-called CSOs, but that again is just to sway public opinion and not necessarily see to that JUSTICE is done.

However, the appropriate thing for Bisola Dakolo to do is to first go to the Police station nearest to her, report the case, get her witnesses and other evidence, assist the Police in their investigation and ensure that the accused is charged appropriately to establish his innocence or guilt and get justice, which can only be dispensed by the court.

4. My Position On The Rape Allegation By Bisola Against Pastor Biodun

Rape is a crime against humanity and a robbery of ones dignity, it is a serious crime that should be treated as an offence worse than armed robbery- because the victim is robbed mentally, emotionally and psychologically.

However, rape accusation is one that should be properly lodged at the Police station and investigated by the appropriate police officer, and if found to be true, the perpetrator be punished. But if otherwise, the accuser be punished. As such, I neither agree with the accuser (Bisola) nor the accused (Pastor Biodun) just yet, but proper investigation be done.


Convulsively, we should allow wisdom be our guide in making judgement! May justice be done!

I’m never on anyone’s side. I am on the side of the truth of issues. I don’t know the pastor and can not speak for him. But I hate bullying! I understand false accusation. I have come to understand the way people garner support especially when the accusation is false. I know first hand that people go out of their way to destroy others for money, jealousy, ego and for no reason whatsoever. I don’t know that the Dakolos are okay financially. I don’t believe decent people will resolve issues this way. They will go to a court of law and not a court of public opinion. They may choose to confront the offender or they’ll simply do positive things to facilitate their healing.
Dakolo has a way with the public. The original competition that brought him to limelight was not his to win. Omowunmi was better than him, but he won because of the polls. People felt like he was a decent underdog and voted for him. To use this influence to destroy another human being is all shades of wrong. Plus his wife’s story has too many loopholes in it. But since I don’t know the facts, I believe both parties should take this to court. What on earth do the Dakolos want to achieve with this?
At that, the attention this case is receiving is way out of proportion. Wild people shouting at members of a place of worship: shame! Rapist! Are the members the accused? Is the accusation legal? Don’t people have the right to worship where the want to? Why can’t the wild ones go to the respective government officials and shout wildly at them?

johnlvis:
Love the wife's courage. For better for worse u have to stand by your husband.

Acidosis:
This is thoughtful and funny at the same time. I said funny because this issue won't get into any court. Ese Walters protested fiercely on twitter yet Fatoyinbo did not approach a court. The next news we would hear is my wife or my congregation advised me to leave the matter to God.

sweetrace:
I agree that this case should be investigated. But please o, what does Busola do for a living? I thought she was a photographer and her husband a musician who releases songs once in a while. So, I don’t see her as well off. Probably average at best. So, yes she can be a broke desperate opportunist. Because, I’m beginning to think there’s so much more to this. This is not a rape allegation anymore. This is a move to destroy this man completely. I just wonder whose toes he stepped on?

iswallker:
Someone has to recommend this case for trial my brother. It is not every someone raoed me 19 yes ago case that will appear in court. Busola doesn't have any intention to go to court - if she did she won't go to social media..the next thing is for her and her family to go underground..because people will ask for proof and they got none..
