Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general
of police (IGP) has ordered a probe into the recent siege laid to the Lagos
residence of Timi Dakolo, Nigerian singer.
Security operatives had besieged
Dakolo’s residence on Sunday, “to deliver a letter inviting him and Busola, his
wife, over the rape allegations” she levelled against Biodun Fatoyinbo of the
Commonwealth of God Assembly (COZA).
The action of the police had
sparked reactions, with Aisha Buhari, the first lady asking the IGP to say no
to rape
In a statement on Monday, Frank
Mba, police spokesman, said the IGP ordered a “rigorous and discreet scrutiny”
into the police operation “to ascertain its conformity with Police Standard
Operating Procedure and International Best Practices.”
He added that the Adamu has also
re-assigned the investigation into the rape allegations to Michael Ogbizi,
deputy inspector-general of police (DIG) in charge of the force criminal
investigation department (FCID).
