Chidi Odinkalu

Former chairman of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, has mocked the police for summoning singer, Timi Dakolo, and wife, Busola, to answer to cases of criminal conspiracy, falsehood and mischief.

Timi had on Saturday revealed via Instagram that he and his wife have been summoned to Abuja by the police over rape allegations made against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).

In the invitation letter dated Thursday, July 18, the police say they are investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, falsehood and mischief.

Odinkalu, tweeted on Saturday, saying that the police had ‘all of a sudden’ established ‘nonexistent crimes’ against the Dakolo family.

“So all of a sudden @policeNG has case of “falsehood, mischief…”, nonexistent crimes, against @timidakolo?” he said.

Timi Dakolo had said that his family would not be bullied.

The 38-year-old had raised an alarm over the presence of unidentified “strange men” at his Lagos home earlier on Saturday.

A picture he posted on Instagram showed that the men allegedly came in a van with number plate BR932KSF.

After their exit, he shared a video to confirm the safety of himself and his family.

Busola had last month alleged that Fatoyinbo raped her as a teenager in Ilorin, Kwara State.

Fatoyinbo was forced to step down from publicly overseeing COZA because of the allegations against him.
