The Christian Association of Nigerian, CAN seems to have made a U-turn on their stance on Pastor Fatoyinbo’s alleged rape case, as they reportedly initiated a move to meet with the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN leadership over the incident. 

Recall that CAN had earlier told News Telegraph that the rape allegation was not their business, as they do not interfere in the way Pastors run their churches. However the Special Assistant, Media and Communications to the CAN President, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, who confirmed that the Christian body will meet with PFN leadership over Pastor Fatoyinbo’s alleged rape case, added that they will get to the root of the matter.

The statement read 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.”
