She said: “One was holding a gun and the second, a letter. They told me they were from IG’s (inspector general of police) office in Abuja and that I needed to sign this letter and acknowledge it.” She added that this event happened after she was being followed by a tinted bus on her way home. She also revealed that she was invited for questioning alongside her husband over allegations of  “falsehood and criminal conspiracy” on July 23 by the special tactical squad of the inspector general of police (IGP), an invitation that was not extended to the other party, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo. She concluded by saying that: “Our culture doesn’t allow speaking of these sorts of things against anointed men of God. They’d rather hide it, and the party that is being victimized tends to live with that self-blame. The damage on the survivor is extremely terrible but the society, the church, keeps sweeping things under the carpet.”Photo Credit: Getty
