Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has dismissed Bukola Dakolo’s rape allegation against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo as falsehood.
Mrs Dakolo in an interview with Chude Jideonwo on YNaija TV revealed that as a teenager in the Divine Delight Club, the precursor to COZA, she was groomed and raped by the pastor.
The mother of three said it happened while she was a 16-year-old secondary school student living with her parents in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Dismissing her allegation in several tweets on Friday, Mr Omokri said her story would not pass if subjected to cross examination in a law court.
He said that he never liked Fatoyinbo for personal reasons but thought the preacher was too ‘sleek’ to ‘rape an underaged girl in her parents’ house’.
Omokri described himself as ‘an advocate of morality’ who publicly preaches against premarital and extramarital sex.
He said he pastored a congregation in Abuja for years and would ‘never, ever, support rape’, but added that ‘Satan is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom to consume!’
