Tony Nwulu Condemns Assualt By Elisha Abbo, Says Security Agents Must Punish Perpetrators


Hon. Tony Nwulu. The progenitor of Not Too Young To Run Act, Coordinator of Not Too Young to Run Movement and Former UPP Candidate for Imo State 2019 Governorship tussle has reacted to the recent disposition of Sen. Elisha Abbo and his sex scandal development, stating that it was a blow on the face young legislators and youth participation in governance.

In his words, he says, "The unfortunate allegations of physical assaults captured in a viral video involving Sen.Elisha Abbo, the youngest senator in this 9th Assembly is indeed shocking.

The NOTTOOYOUNGTORUN movement strongly condemn this assault and calls on relevant security agencies (The police) to investigate this matter dispassionately and bring perpetrators to Account.

There's no doubt that this action will rub off on the senate, However as a movement we are conscious of the various commentaries on this ignoble action but want to reassure the Nigerian youths and the people that this is not a true reflection of who we are.

The Nigeria youth is hardworking, decent and committed to building a great country.

We call on all youths to be guided by the pristine character of sobriety, morality, principles and competence in all spheres of life.

We stand in solidarity with the lofty heights that our Nation is striving for. God bless Nigeria".

The police in Abuja have said they would require a formal complaint of wrongdoing against the pentecostal preacher, Biodun Fatoyinbo, who is accused of rape, before they could take criminal action against him.

Police commissioner Bala Ciroma told journalists on Saturday that the police usually require complaints from victims or witnesses or both to proceed with rape charges.

“They should file a formal complaint,” Mr Ciroma said. “And then the police can see how to proceed from there.”

Mr Fatoyinbo, the founder and senior preacher of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), has been a subject of public derision since Friday morning when a video interview in which a woman, Busola Dakolo, accused him of raping her, was published online.



Mrs Dakolo, wife of musician Timi Dakolo, told YNaija that she was only 16 when Mr Fatoyinbo came to her family residence in Ilorin and raped her, deflowering her in the process.

Mrs Dakolo, now mother of three, said the first encounter happened on a morning when Mr Fatoyinbo knocked on the door of her family home in Ilorin. The family had been a long time member of COZA, and they saw Mr Fatoyinbo as a diligent and decent figure.

“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,” Mrs Dakolo told YNaija.

“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,’” Mrs Dakolo said.

Mrs Dakolo said Mr Fatoyinbo told her after the alleged rape that she should be grateful that it was a man of God who did that to her.

She said the preacher raped her the second time within the same week on a deserted road.

She also narrated several unwanted sexual encounters that followed the first incident, all of which she said she had carried as a burden for several years. She said she recently found the confidence to publicly tell her story.

Mrs Dakolo’s allegation came six years after Mr Fatoyinbo faced allegations of sexual misconduct and adultery from two women, including Ese Walters. The two other women did not accuse Mr Fatoyinbo of raping them, and they also largely avoided confronting him unlike Mrs Dakolo.

Mr Fatoyinbo pushed back against the allegations on Friday, saying in an official church statement that he had never raped a woman “even as an unbeliever.”

The pastor threatened a lawsuit against Mrs Dakolo and others he accused of defaming his character, adding that many of the sexual misconduct claims he had faced over the years had come from scorned women within his ministry.

Nigerians have expressed enormous support for the Dakolos for their courage, and calls for Mr Fatoyinbo’s arrest and prosecution have also been intensified on social media.

But the police are now asking for the victims to come forward with complaints.

It was not immediately clear whether the Dakolos have reported the matter to the police.

Mr Dakolo did not immediately return messages seeking comments about this on Saturday morning.

Rape allegations are considered grievous under Nigeria’s federal and state laws, and could attract long sentences for anyone convicted.

The Child Rights Act (2003) set 18 as the age of consent at federal level, but several states have amended the law before domesticating it, including Kwara which sets consent at 16 years.

Section 274 of the Kwara State Child Rights Law (2007) defines a child as “any person under the age of 16.”

Before the Child Rights Act was introduced in 2003 to protect and advance the interest of the girl child, there was no standard definition for criminal responsibility in Nigeria. Decades after it was first passed and adopted at the federal level, 12 states, all in northern Nigeria, have not domesticated the law.

The states are: Bauchi, Yobe, Kano, Sokoto, Adamawa, Borno, Zamfara, Gombe, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa and Kaduna.

Even though the Kwara State Child Rights Act sets 16 as the age of consent, prosecutors would have to put up a formidable argument to categorise the alleged incident as a child rape because it appeared to have taken place before 2007, according to Victor Okhai, a criminal justice expert.

Mr Fatoyinbo said in his statement that he was friends with Mrs Dakolo’s family (the Amupitans) in 1999 when he was an upcoming preacher in Ilorin.

Mr Okhai said rape, as with most criminal charges, can prove particularly challenging for prosecutors to establish in court.

“It may require the victim, witnesses, marks and even forensic analysis nowadays,” Mr Okhai told PREMIUM TIMES.

However, Mrs Dakolo and other women who have alleged sexual misconduct against Mr Fatoyinbo could initiate a class action lawsuit against the famed preacher.

“When there is a preponderance of allegations from women, they can file a class action civil suit to hold him accountable for his action,” Mr Okhai said. “But this would be a civil matter, which might not go as far as the criminal charges that people have shown a preference for in this matter.”

Mr Okhai also said the police may take up the matter, even without a formal complaint from the Dakolos or other potential victims.

“If the police have a reasonable basis to suspect that a wrongdoing might have been committed, then they can move in without a complainant,” Mr Okhai said. “Just like in Naira Marley’s case: nobody made a formal complaint, but the anti-graft EFCC arrested him and charged him to caught for Internet fraud.”

THE INSIDER: COZA ‘agents’ offering social media influencers millions to defend Fatoyinbo


People claiming to be members of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) have been reaching out to social media influencers to carry out a social media campaign in defence of their pastor.

Biodun Fatoyinbo, the senior pastor of the church, was accused of rape by Busola Dakolo, a celebrity photographer and wife of Timi Dakolo.

Abujapress understands that social media opinion influencers are being offered as much as N2 million to upload posts in defence of Fatoyinbo.

There have been comments from various persons on social media in defence of the pastor including from Reno Omokri, a former presidential spokesman, who said the story rings false.

In a flurry of tweets, the ex-aide stated that although he never liked Fatoyinbo for personal reasons; the preacher was too "sleek" and won't stoop so low to "rape an underage girl" in her parents' house.

In an interview with YNaija TV, Dakolo had alleged that the rape occurred twice in the space of four days.

Some protesters under the platform of #ChurchTooMovement have vowed to storm the headquarters

This is not the first time that the pastor has been accused of rape or having sexual encounters with church members.

The most prominent was that of Ese Walter in 2013. Walter shared her experience on a self-named blog, which has now been deleted.

Fatoyinbo had also denied the allegation, attributing it to his enemies.

TheCable has contacted the church authorities for reactions.

Dana Air partners Project PINK BLUE, ACT Foundation to conduct free prostate cancer screening for 3,000 men


As part of its corporate social responsibility(CSR), Dana Air has announced its partnership with Project PINK BLUE to conduct free prostate cancer screening for 3,000 men across Nigeria.

The free screening initiative which is tagged- ‘Men on Blue project’’ will commence on the 29th of June 2019 and will hold in Abuja, Niger state, Nassarawa state, River state, and Akwa Ibom state.

The Accountable Manager/ COO of Dana Air, Mr Obi Mbanuzuo while speaking during a visit by the Project PINK BLUE team to the corporate headquarters of Dana Air said, “at some point in 2014, we just felt the need to redirect our CSR drive. We realized that cancer was becoming a big secret killer but the awareness was really low. Then we decided to partner Project PINK BLUE in 2015 to assist survivors, create more awareness and conduct free screening exercise for Nigerians at intervals.’’

Last year, we partnered the Rotary to conduct blood donation camps in Lagos and we are planning other lifesaving CSR projects in the coming months. We have a lot of initiatives ongoing at the moment and we are glad to announce that we have impacted millions of lives in a positive way. We can only thank our guests for their support and Nigerians for embracing these initiatives.’’

“We commend the Project PINK BLUE team and we encourage more corporate bodies to support them because at Dana Air, we are unrelenting in our humanitarian efforts across Nigeria.’’

The Executive Director of Project Pinkblue, Runcie C.W. Chidebe while commending Dana Air for supporting Project PINK BLUE since 2015, noted “every October, several organizations create awareness about breast and cervical cancer, however, prostate cancer is always missing; leaving several men to die in silence and pain of discovering their prostate cancer at late stages”.

“Cancer is responsible for 70,327 deaths annually in Nigeria and prostate cancer has become a major health concern among men and it is the leading cause of cancer death among men with incident rates of 32.8 per 100,000 men and mortality rates of 16.3 per 100,000 men. Over 15 Nigerian men die every day from prostate cancer” said Chidebe.

Commenting further, Runcie said “Our goal is to use Men on Blue project to close the gap of awareness, education, research and screening for prostate cancer at the select locations and our plan is to screen at least 3,000 men, reach 30,000 men, 50,000 women and youth directly and 15 million through traditional and social media in Nigeria. Those who are interested in the screening can call 08188347020 or mail info@projectpinkblue.org"

"We sincerely appreciate Act Foundation for the funds and Dana Air for always supporting and we strongly believe that this health intervention ‘’Men on Blue’’ will help phase out late diagnosis of prostate cancer in Nigeria, he added.
