The Humans involved. |
The
founder of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo has
broken the silence, saying he is innocent of the allegations leveled against
him as he has never raped anybody before.
The
statement read; “Prior to now, we had adhered to our policy of ignoring rumour
from Social Media account as we knew that several statements had been to extort
the church of money and myself through blackmail, harassed and intimidated. We have
refused time and again to accede to their request, which has infuriated them
overtime, because of this, they have gotten more aggressive.
Unlike
previous statements where innuendos were used and there was no direct mention
of myself or the church, the recent video released on YouTube has now made
direct criminal allegation against me in the interview granted by Busola Dakolo
which are fallacious, non-existent and which are all denied in every measure.
As
an individual and as a church, we love and support people, and we will never
condone any form of abuse, rape, harassment, or intimidation of anybody.
I
have never in my life raped anyone even as an unbeliever and I am absolutely
innocent of this.
The
Busola Dakolo, who has made this false allegation and her family attended the
church during the early start of the church in Ilorin in 1999. I never had any
private interactions with her beyond my pastoral duties. Looking at her status
and that of her husband, I am dumbfounded why she would say such a thing. As expected
under the ethics of Journalism, it would have been expected that I should have
been confronted with these false allegations prior to any publication, instead
of resorting to Social Media with the intent to ruin my reputation and bring
down the church.
We
will also not stand for the false criminal allegation made against me or the
church. The leadership of the church and I have briefed our lawyers to commence
criminal and civil actions against all individuals making such false allegations
whether directly or by proxies.
We
will as a church pursue every measure within the ambit of the law to bring the
culprits to justice. We have heard, and we will not be surprised to see more of
such allegations by people who have been paid to continue in this line of
blackmail, harassment and extortion, including those who may have been
dismissed from their duties in the church on disciplinary grounds.
