Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, has returned to the police to face more interrogation over rape allegations levelled against him by Busola Dakolo, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo.

Fatoyinbo spent his entire day at the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Garki Area 10, Abuja, on Tuesday where he was grilled by a team of detectives led by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Adaku Anya.

Reports say the preacher was released on bail.

Busola alleged in June that Pastor Fatoyinbo raped her as a teenager in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The allegation caused a storm with protesters marching to the church in Abuja and its branch in Lagos to express their displeasure.

Force spokesman, Frank Mba, said on Tuesday that more pastors would be interrogated over the allegation.

Fatoyinbo had snubbed the panel set up by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) to investigate the rape allegation.

He said he was advised by his lawyers not to appear before the panel because it was prejudiced and may not conduct an impartial session.
