A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Femi Falana, has said his chambers is not holding brief for Mr Timi and Mrs Busola Dakolo.

The human rights lawyer noted that he only intervened when the family expressed fear over their petition.

Falana clarified his position on the matter in a text message to The PUNCH on Tuesday.

According to reports, the lawyer said the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had ordered the transfer of the case between the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo, and the Dakolo’s to Lagos.

He said this was because the Dakolo’s were the first to submit a petition to the police over the rape allegation against Fatoyinbo.

He said the IG also asked that the petitions of the two parties be consolidated.

Explaining how he came into the matter, Falana said he was contacted after the Dakolo’s had written their petition.

He said, “They wrote their petition before contacting us. When they met us, they expressed the fear that their petition might not be investigated. We intervened by requesting the police authorities to investigate the complaint. The IG has already granted the request. I confirmed the position to you yesterday (Monday).”

  1. I have realized some essential things through your blog post. One other point I would like to state is that there are plenty of games out there designed in particular for preschool age youngsters. They consist of pattern identification, colors, dogs, and styles. These typically focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep children and kids engaged without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks

  2. Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!
