Reactions Trail Armed Men’s Visit To Timi Dakolo’s House

Nigerians express mixed reactions as armed men visit the residence of singer, Timi Dakolo.

This evening, Dakolo took to his Instagram page to post a picture of a white Toyota Hiace bus parked outside of his house. 

Dakolo in what seems to be a cry of alarm posted: 

“STRANGE MEN AT HOUSE,…WITH GUNS”

STRANGE MEN AT HOUSE,…WITH GUNS

Who ordered gunmen to visit Timi Dakolo's house?

Thought this was supposed to be a court case?

I am following Timi Dakolo's story. Sahara reporters reported that the Dakolos are being forced to sign a document from the Inspector General Of Police, Mohammed Adamu, stating that the confession made by Busola Dakolo is targeted at tarnishing the image of Biodun Fatoyinbo

On July 10, 2019 Kemi Olunloyo posted Timi Dakolo's home address on IG. 10 days later, there are strange men with guns outside Timi's house.

People will be doing rubbish not knowing they are negatively affecting other people's lives &putting them in danger.

If anything happens to Timi Dakolo and his wife, Mr Biodun is responsible.

Wow! So @policeng invited the Dakolos for interrogation over a criminal complaint ostensibly made by Tolu Fatoyinbo. Fantastic. If Tolu felt defamed, why has he ran to the police? He should sue for libel. No, he wants to use the instrument of state to oppress. Thread》》

Security and safety of Timi & Busola Dakolo rest with Nigerian authorities.

Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola Dakolo had alleged, in an interview granted to YNaija, that Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion raped her as a teenager in his church in Ilorin. Busola Dakolo. Fatoyinbo maintained his innocence, however, he took a leave of absence from the pulpit.
