Rape Case: Police Confirm Inviting Bisola & Timi Dakolo

AISHA ABUBAKAR

The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed that its operatives on 20th July, 2019, served official Invitation Letters on Bisola and Timi Dakolo. The invitation is sequel to an on-going Police investigation touching on the wider and highly publicized case involving Bisola Dakolo, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and others.

According to DCP Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer, it was important however, to note that the Police Invitation Letter was not synonymous with a Warrant of Arrest, and must not be construed to be one. Rather, it is a polite investigative tool used in eliciting information voluntarily from parties to aid police investigations.

Members of the public should therefore see it as a legitimate act in line with the constitutional mandate of the Police, which among other things included the investigation of all complaints brought before it.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP MA Adamu NPM, mni, appealed for calm, and reassured Nigerians that the Police Force under his watch will remain professional, impartial and unreservedly committed to the pursuit of justice in the case and all other cases before it.
