Speaking in a statement through Attah Ogah, its director, the human rights group cautioned that rape is a very serious matter that needs special attention and investigation.

Full statement below:

“Rape allegation is a very serious matter that should not be glossed over,”

“However, no one should be treated as if he or she is already guilty during and after investigation until a court of competent jurisdiction gives its final verdict on the matter strictly on law.”

“Pastor Fatoyinbo is not a criminal; he is a mere suspect of a very controversial allegation, which is what the Police have a responsibility to find out, instead of treating the accused as a criminal.

“We therefore strongly advise and warn that until proven otherwise, the law must fully protect both the complainant and the accused equally.”
