The Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo, on Friday, approached a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Bwari, adducing reasons why the suit alleging that he forcefully raped Busola, wife of celebrity musician, Timi Dakolo in 2002, should be dismissed.
In an application filed through his lawyers, he also demanded that he is awarded a sum of N50 million as damages.
According to the application, he called for the dismissal of the suit on the grounds that it is incompetent and frivolous.
This comes about two weeks after Mrs Dakolo had demanded that the pastor apologises for allegedly defiling her.
In a writ filed on her behalf by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi and Co of Law corridor, she demanded that Pastor Fatoyinbo pens a clearly worded apology on the front page of at least two national newspapers and two national television stations for seven days running consecutively.

Mrs Dakolo also demanded that a cost of action estimated at the sum of N10,000,000 (ten million naira) be paid.
