CAN Probes Rape Allegation Against COZA Founder, Fatoyinbo

Pat Stevens/

The Christian Association of Nigeria has disclosed its plan to meet with the leadership of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria over the allegations of rape levelled against the founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo.

The Special Assistant, Media and Communications to the CAN President, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, disclosed this in a statement on yesterday.

Busola Dakolo, mother of three and wife of musician, Timi Dakolo, had accused Fatoyinbo of raping her twice when she was 17.

Fatoyinbo has however denied the allegation.

The statement reads in part: “The Christian Association of Nigeria as a body, condemns any case of rape in strong terms, it doesn’t matter who is involved.

“It is ungodly, wicked, and reprehensible. However, on the allegations against Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo, we have no details about the matter other than what we are reading on the social media, this is not reliable and credible evidence enough to jump into a conclusion.

“The CAN Leadership, therefore, has reached out to the leadership of the block which the Pastor in question belongs with a view to getting to the root of the matter. This will help us to make the right decision on the issue.”
