The leadership of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), on Saturday
officially broke its silence over the lingering alleged rape by it’s
Senior Pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo.
COZA authoritatively disclosed that Fatoyinbo never raped Busola, wife
of celebrity musician, Timi Dakolo, who claimed that Fatoyinbo raped her
in 2002 when she was 17 years old.
The church said: “We see this ugly development fuelled by envy and
sheer jealousy as an unnecessary distraction and a fight from the pit of
hell against the ministry that God gave Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, as well
as a declaration of war against the Church of Christ to which COZA is a
flourishing branch under God’s grace.”
A statement issued in Abuja by the Executive Senior Assistant to the Senior Pastor of COZA, Ademola Adetuberu said: “As
a result of the recent unprovoked satanic campaign of calumny
orchestrated against the leadership and members of our church,
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) by agents of darkness, the church
would like to break its silence and clear certain misconception and
misinformation being churned out in order to misguide members of the
church, public and relevant authorities that we do not support rape.
“We stand with anyone who has been a victim of rape. We stand by our
Founding and Senior Pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, who has been at the
receiving end of organized blackmail and all sorts of attacks because of
his innocence and we are sure that our faithful and unfailing God will
vindicate him very soon.
“As for Busola Dakolo, justice will soon be served. We would like to,
again, for the record reiterate that our Senior Pastor, Rev. Biodun
Fatoyinbo has never had anything personal to do with her. Busola was not
raped by Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo and she had never been in a relationship
with him either.
“We are not unaware that certain pastors that felt threatened by the
unprecedented growth of COZA and the grace of God upon His Servant are
after some of our members, just making every effort to cash in on the
attack against God’s servant. There was nothing they had not done behind
the scene until this rape scandal. They are accusing our Pastor of
snatching their members. Some are even asking why he couldn’t remain in
Ilorin. Our focus is the Kingdom of God and winning souls for Christ.
COZA is home to those who have sold out to Jesus. At COZA, we believe
that every sent servant of God has his or her harvest field given to him
or her by God and not by poaching souls or believers of another
ministry.”
COZA urged: “those sponsoring these evils to desist however if they
do not, the God of vengeance will visit them. They should let Rev.
Biodun Fatoyinbo continue freely with his divine mandate that our Lord
Jesus Christ gave him. It is ungodly and sinful to be used by satan
against the anointed.”
