The Nigerian Police Force has invited Busola Dakolo, wife of musician Timi Dakolo for investigation after storming their home in Lagos on Sunday.

It will be recalled that Dakolo had detailed how pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly allegedly raped her when she was a teenager in his church in Ilorin.

Fatoyinbo has denied the allegations.

The letter of invitation from the police signed by DCP Kolo Yusuf, Deputy Commissioner of Police, IGP Special Tactical Squad, reads in part, "This office is investigating a case of criminal conspiracy, falsehood, and a threat to life that your name was mentioned.

"You are kindly requested to interview the undersigned officer on 23/07/2019 by 1000hrs for fact findings through DSP, Ibrahim Agu, with telephone number 08037864191."

The tactical team which stormed Dakolo's house to force them to sign documents admitting guilt and also whisk them away to Abuja was foiled after public outcry over the ambush, SaharaReporters can confirm.

Reacting to the letter of invitation dropped by the tactical team, Timi Dakolo on Instagram said, "We cannot be bullied."
