Are you kidding me, do you expect her to win in court without proof? He's a powerful person and a supposed man of God too.

I'm very sure this OP doesn't know the difference between rape and consensual sex.

Like so what if she's slept with several of her church members? Is it a crime to sleep with one's church members? (Even though I hate this hypocrisy in Christians)

She accused Biodun Fatoyinbo of raping her. Now this is a very serious issue. Raping a woman is very very different from having consensual sex with a woman.

Rape Allegations: Police Ask Victims To File Complaints
BAYO WAHAB Yesterday at 8:21 PM

Following rape allegations levied against the senior pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, the police in Abuja have said it would require a formal complaint against the preacher before a criminal action could be taken against him.
Police commissioner Bala Ciroma on Saturday, June 29, 2019 that the police need complaints from victims or witnesses or both to proceed with rape charges.

He said, "They should file a formal complaint, and then the police can see how to proceed from there."

The rape allegation against Pastor Fatoyinbo has been the major topic of discussion since Timi Dakolo's wife, Busola Dakolo accused the preacher of raping her when she was sixteen.

Busola in a video interview told YNaija that Mr Fatoyinbo came to her family residence in Ilorin and raped and deflowered her when she was 16-yr-old.

She said, "Immediately I opened the door, he just pushed me, he did not say anything, he did not utter any word, he just pushed me to one of the chairs in my living room."

"I saw him, he was removing his belt, he just said: 'keep quiet, do what I want you to do and you will be fine.'"

Meanwhile, the pastor has denied the allegation in a statement he released on Friday, June 28, 2019, saying has never had any private interaction with Busola Dakolo beyond his pastoral duties.

However, civil societies have reacted to the rape allegation against pastor Fatoyinbo.

Human Rights activist, Segun Awosanya popularly known has Segalink on social media has also weighed in on the ongoing allegations.

Awosanya, who works with Citizen Gavel, a civic tech organisation is said to be instituting a legal action against the pastor saying there are "more than 30 people who are ready to testify against him."

Awosanya also said it is possible for Pastor Fatoyinbo to be sued for statutory rape since the alleged victim said she was rapes when she was 16.

INEC reveals how APC thugs abducted, coerced its adhoc-staff to write results for Akpabio in Akwa Ibom

...Akpabio brother tells tribunal he can't remember LGs won

The National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State was on Monday, told how All Progressives Congress (APC) thugs unleashed violence on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) adhoc staff, abducted and coerced them to write results in favour of the party and its candidate in the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, who is challenging the victory of Dr. Chris Ekpenyong of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) at the tribunal, is expected to mount the witness box today, after calling 14 witnesses.

On Monday, his cousin, Ibanga Akpabio who claimed to be the APC agent for the Senatorial District told the tribunal that "he cannot recount the Local Government Areas his party won."

Ibanga Akpabio, under cross examination by Counsel to the PDP, Solomon Umoh, SAN, was asked as Senatorial Agent, to mentioned the Local Government Areas that his party won in the election.

"Ikot Ekpene and some others that I do not know", Akpabio, who is also a lawyer answered.

"I put it to you that you lost in all Local Government Areas," Umoh added.

Counsel to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Robert Emukpoeruo told the tribunal that APC members unleashed violence on INEC adhoc staff, abducted and coerced them into writing results in favour of APC.

Ibanga Akpabio who denied this statement was however drawn to paragraph 11 of his witness statement, where he noted that "…an INEC staff escaped with a phone call and never came back."

The INEC Counsel told the tribunal that; "To confirm in paragraph 11 of your witness statement that INEC officials were abducted, you said that at final point of collation, he received a phone call and escaped. I put it to you that one can only escape from abduction," Emukpoeruo submitted

The witness agreed with INEC, that accreditation in an election can only be done with voters’ registers and/or card readers.

INEC Counsel: On the result sheet, column for accreditation has to be collated from card readers and voters’ registers. Do you agree?

Akpabio: Yes

INEC Counsel: Is there any other source where this information can be obtained?

Akpabio: No

INEC Counsel: Where polling unit results contained in a result is not obtainable from number of accredited voters on smart card readers and voters’ registers, the result is invalid. Do you agree?

Akpabio: Yes

INEC Counsel: I put it to you that 7 out of 11 wards of Essien Udim LGA, there is no record of accreditation.

Despite argument from Sunday Ameh, Counsel to Senator Godswill Akpabio, INEC presented polling unit results, where witness agreed that results of Ukana West 1, 2 and IKpe Annang were non existent.

INEC Counsel: From INEC Forms P420-P530, I put it to you that there are no polling unit results for Ukana West 1, Ukana west 2 and Ikpe Annang.

Akpabio: They are not here. We asked our lawyer to apply to INEC but it is like we have not gotten them.

INEC Counsel: My Lord, the witness should be given time to look at the documents.

Tribunal Chairman: If the witness agrees that they are not there, there is no point wasting our time.

Akpabio, after examining the documents agreed that there were no results for Ukana West 1, Ukana West 2 and Ikpe Annang.

Counsel to INEC, who brought the voters registers P489-508 and results sheets P544 for Okon Ward argued with Ibanga Akpabio that; "all results you have on P544 are entries that do not reflect P489-P508."

"It is faint and I cannot see," Ibanga Akpabio stated.

"I therefore put it to you that if you add all those results, your party is still the loser," Emukpoeruo submitted.

Generalpatton:
I know its subjudice to discuss matters before a court but i wonder if adeleke can get victory based on what happened at the supreme court hearing on the 17th of June.his lead counsel made grievous errors that may cost him the case,olanipekun as usual took advantage of the technical error and moved a motion to strike out the case.wole best skill is always in defending electoral victories and always prevails using technicalities but performs averagely when he is on the petitioning team.what are the chances of adeleke winning?

Justice Ita Mbaba, disagreed and upheld the tribunal verdict that gave Adeleke victory.

Justice Mbaba further awarded N200, 000 cost against Oyetola and the APC.

Giving his reasons, Justice Mbaba maintained that Oyetola and APC’s allegation that Justice Obiora was absent during the proceeding of the tribunal on February 6, was founded on mere speculation and inference.

He noted that from evidence before the court, whereas Justice Obiora’s name appeared on the heading of record of proceeding for that date, the appellants’ conclusion that he was absent was based on the fact that his name did not appear on the signature page.

Justice Mbaba agreed with Adeleke’s lawyer, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, that such conflict could only be resolved through affidavit evidence.

More so, Justice Mbaba said there was also the possibility that the mix-up was an error from the Secretariat of the tribunal which compiled and transmitted the record of proceeding.

He said the appellate court could have called for the original file from the tribunal, noting that since “intrigues and mischievousness also reign in election related cases, one cannot rule out the unfortunate possibility that the record could have been tampered with”.

Justice Mbaba said he was satisfied that Adeleke and PDP proved all their allegations and that INEC failed to justify the conduct of the supplementary poll.

“In conclusion, I resolve the issues in favour of the 1st and 2nd Respondents. I dismiss the appeal with a cost of N200, 000”.

The same scenario also played out in a second appeal that was lodged by the INEC.

While the other four justices allowed the appeal, Justice Mbaba dismissed it, even as he descended heavily on the electoral body for its failure to live up to expectation in the conduct of the election.

Mbaba noted that INEC which did not call witness at the tribunal or tendered any document, surprising filed the appeal to contend that Adeleke, having participated in the September 27 re-run poll, waived his right to challenge its outcome.

He held that no serious party would boycott any rerun election when a final declaration had not been made, even as he accused INEC of acting dubiously in the rerun election.

“INEC acted dubiously in the way it handled the rerun election. INEC should not have been put in the dock if it had done the right thing at the rerun election and when INEC was in the dock it shied away without filing any argument”.

He noted that INEC deliberately cancelled results in 17 polling units, adding that such action was illegal since the State Returning Officer lacked the power to do so.

“It is the presiding Officer that has the power to cancel results if need be”, Justice Mbaba added.

Generalpatton:
You are the one that is wrong.the first three appeals are grounds in one suit.the 2nd appeal is a cross appeal.but let me not argue further because you never accept defeat.to show you that you that your legal knowledge is limited,you are treating the technicalities lightly.that is the first thing any court rules on that is why its called preliminary objections.if the supreme court finds merit in them,the case is over.ask any lawyer friend around you to educate you more before you misled yourself again.
According to you,the first appeal deals with the appeal judgment.if the supreme uphelds it especially the one relating to the absence of justice obiora,the 4th appeal is dead.try and understand simple things

Enice:
can someone explain why any POS will display ur data just by inserting ur ATM card but a SCR will not display sh!t if you go outside the area you registered? because the POS is connected to a server while the SCR is not. it is just a memory card with voters data. it is a stand alone that you take to a computer to download info from. j

On the Rivers monorail project, I wnt you to know that government is a continuum, as such Wike was within the limit to complete such an outstanding project. But Wike, an individual notorious for petty vindictiveness opted against it, to the detriment of Rivers. Other examples include the Banana plantation, fish farms and scraping of RSSDA. Not to mention TimaRiv and the sacked Ken-Poly lecturers. Had to mention all these to let you know I'm grounded in Rivers.


On the issue of white paper that indicted Amaechi, I oblige you to make same available on this platform for all to see his indictment or forever be know as a Big Fat Liar!!!

deomelo:
You mean I should source for info to help you prove your rubbish with?

Shouldn't you have sourced your info first before starting a thread to make bogus, flawed, irrational and illogical comparisons?

Keep quiet if you have nothing better to say.

deomelo:
How exactly do you defend factless, baseless and illogical rubbish? Is the burden not on the person doing the faceless and baseless comparison to back up their rubbish with facts?


I think you've been walking on your brain all day. Keep quiet if you have nothing intelligent to talk about.

Shallow info consumer

deomelo:
Blogger Blogger. This is how you feed Nigerians with half-baked rubbish and baseless accusations and insinuations.

....but of course, you know the average Nigerian is dumb, gullible, low intellect with zero appetite for intellectual reasonings, they love tabloid stories, gossips and rumors.

You people so more damage than good.

senatordave1:
My boy its not a bad thing to accept defeat.try it and you wont regret.stop arguing aimlessly when you lose.am wasting my time with you.i told you that pdp will lose at the appeal court and i gave you the reasons which the court used.am telling you that apc will still win at the supreme based on technicalities.when that happens ,you will join apc

senatordave1:
You are talking like a woman,talking out of point as usual stay on the topic.the question is did abba taught win based on technicality at the supreme court or not? Did the court looked at the main issue

Nigeria will now be watching the rest of the 2019 Women’s World Cup nervously.

The Super Falcons saw their chances of making the Round of 16 reduce, as Brazil took the second slot after Tuesday matches.

The South Americans beat Italy 1-0, thanks to Marta’s late penalty, to claim third spot in Group C.

Three of the teams in the group including Australia finished with six points, while Jamaica had zero.

There are now two slots left for the best third-placed teams.

For the African champions to qualify now, Scotland need to beat Argentina on Wednesday. Or at least hold the South Americans to a draw.

New Zealand must also hold Cameroon or if either side wins on Thursday, it must not be by more than three goals.

Thailand, who have conceded 18 times already, should not lose by more than three goals to Chile.

This INEC budget breakdown could be denied by INEC as it was not signed nor released with official letter head paper and there was no traces that it was obtained or downloaded from INEC Website

I didnt say there was no primary but there was which is in dispute,illegal,not properly constituted and should not stand

There was disputed primaries is different from no primaries but names submitted.

Tuniski,engineerboat and johnnyessence,you can see that one of the two reasons that led to the dismissal of the suit is technicalities,that is little did not join abba yusuf as one of the parties in the suit.unlike onnighen who frowned at technicalities,tanko loves technicalities.adeleke will fail

The apex court said the appeal was dismissed for want of diligent prosecution.
The seven-member panel of justices led by Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour therefore unanimously held that the appeal lacked merit and dismissed same.
On April 18, a Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna upheld the appeal Mr Yusuf, challenging a Federal High Court’s order that sacked him as the party’s candidate.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Tanko Hussaini said the Federal High Court judge in Kano erred in law by assuming jurisdiction without the plaintiff, Ibrahim Little, joining the necessary party, Abba Yusuf.
The judge also said Mr Little lacked locus standi to institute action challenging the process that he did not participate in.
On March 4, a Federal High Court sitting in Kano sacked the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Abba Yusuf, in the state.

Tuniski,the second reason for the dismissal of the case is because little was not part of the said primaries meanwhile he bought forms and he is a member of pdp.this has vindicated me again.the fct kangaroo court that sacked apc lawmakers in bauchi erred,only those that participated in the primaries of apc have the right to sue.anyway i xpect you to come up with a ridiculous reason to disagree as usual.



As an aside,i personally think that the apex court were here.ibrahim little was denied of his political rights when after buying forms,kwankwaso took the venue of the primaries to his house and prevented others from participating in it making yusuf a sole contestant.that is an infringement of his fundamental human rights,the apex court should have cancelled that primaries.perhaps little didnt argue it well in court
