The police says it is not aware of any petition Busola
Dakolo, wife of Timi Dakolo, filed in any of its command's against COZA pastor,
Biodun Fatoyinbo.
Recall that on Saturday, Timi raised an alarm on social
media after he spotted gun wielding men inside a bus in front of his house. It
was later discovered that the men were a team of police officers from Abuja who
had come to deliver a letter to him and his wife to come forward for
questionning as there is a case of criminal conspiracy, falsehood and threat to
life filed against them.
Timi at a press conference he held in Lagos yesterday, said Busola on June 27th, filed a petition
against Fatoyinbo within the Lagos state police command, a day before her
explosive interview was released. He wondered why the police had not acted on
her petition or invited Biodun Fatoyinbo for questioning but were quick to act
on the clergyman's petition and invited them for questioning.
In a fresh interview with The Nation, a police officer at
the force headquarters in Abuja who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the force is unaware of any petition
from Mrs Dakolo.
According to the source, the first petition received is that
from Fatoyinbo and that they acted immediately the petition was received.
“We are not aware that she wrote any letter. If she tells us
that the matter was already reported at Alagbon, we will confirm it and take up
the matter from there but as it stands now, we are not aware of that.
“We are also not aware that the case is in court. We treated
the first petition that came to us and what we did was just to invite; and the
invitation is optional. If she likes,
she can refuse to honour it or not and according to our men who were on ground
yesterday, she said she will honour the invitation on Wednesday.
“We gave a date and she said the date was not convenient and
she chose another date. If it is by force, will she give date?” he said
Giving reasons why the letter was issued, he said: “We wrote
because there was complaint and anybody who complains, constitutionally, we
have the right to invite. It is left for the invited person to come or not.
“I don’t see the reason for making so much noise about this
at all. I am not saying the matter at hand is not serious but I feel there are
other important issues that need our attention as a nation. It is merely an
invitation; it is not as if our operatives killed anybody.
On why they decided to go with a bus to deliver a letter, he
said: “The operatives were from Abuja. We do not expect them to go on foot. Going
with the bus does not mean anything.”
The source however disclosed that Mrs Dakolo has agreed to
honor the invitatoion on Wednesday July 24th.
