Punch Reporter Released After 'detention' At COZA by Priscy01(f): 7:08pm On Jul 21, 2019
A columnist with The Punch, Abimbola Adelakun, has been released after she was briefly held up for questioning by security agents on Sunday at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) in Abuja, Igbere TV reports.

Adelakun had published a column at the back page of Punch newspapers on July 4 with the title “What Does Mrs. Fatoyinbo Know”.

The article, which examined the rape allegations against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, was illustrated with the cartoon of a man desecrating the bible with urine.

Fatoyinbo was recently accused of rape by Busola, wife of singer Timi Dakolo.

The cartoon was greeted with backlash from readers, ultimately leading to the firing of the editor of the paper’s daily title, Martin Ayankola.

Adelakun, who said she was at the church on Sunday in furtherance of her research on Pentecostal churches, said she was pulled out of the church by the church’s security men, who recognised her, and made her to stay in “one place where they were keeping everybody that they suspected.”

The columnist said the security agents refused her demand to leave, adding that she had reported the incident to a police station in Abuja.

Tweeting later on Sunday, she said: “I’m aware of the info abt my arrest at COZA today. I wasn’t arrested. Earlier, I sent out an image because I was concerned when pulled aside by the protocol dept for questioning. Thanks to everyone who has been concerned about me. I am sorry for all the misinformation out there.”

With all these one sided noise, Coza will begin to receive sympathy.

This case has made me realise that a greater percentage of Nigerians are suffering from intellect "myopia", their sense of reasoning has so much been clouded by sentiments that there isn't an iota of space left for critical reasoning and evaluation.



No sooner had Busola granted the said interview than Nigerians set the social media ablaze, blasting, insulting, cursing and abusing the pastor even without getting to hear his own part of the story.



The social media jury have convicted and even sentenced the pastor. Thanks goodness the pastor has taken the appropriate steps against the Dakolos, i shudder at the thoughts of the Dakolos not having a concrete prove to nail the pastor, if not, their name will be SORRY.
