Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo has finally bowed to pressure and stepped down as the senior pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, over alleged rape allegation by Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola Dakolo.
Fatoyinbo took to his official Instagram account to release an official statement, stating that he is stepping down from the pulpit following the rape saga.
According to him, he has sought spiritual counsel from christian leaders all over the world before taking his final decision.
He wrote:
“The past few days have been very sobering on me I have taken time to seek spiritual counsel form Christian leaders around the world who feel very concerned about the ongoing report in the media.
“I have solicited their guidance on actions I should take that is honoring to our Lord Jesus Christ and the work he has called me to do.
“Drawing from their counsel and that of the leadership of COZA and owing to my love for Lord’s work and the sacred honor of my calling I have decided to take a leave of absence from the pulpit of the church.”
Pastor Fatoyinbo took this decision after a massive protest was carried out by some Nigerians Sunday, June 30, at Coza church in Lagos and Abuja, asking the Pastor to step down over the rape allegations by Busola Dakolo.
