Following the release of the explosive interview with Busola Dakolo by Red Media, another young lady is alleging that she was raped by former Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo.
The lady, who preferred to stay anonymous had her image blurred during the videoed interview released on Thursday.
She detailed how she was brought into the family’s inner circle by Modele, Fatoyinbo’s wife, to take care of the kids saying that the fact that the family, who didn’t allow a lot of people access to their kids allowed her to do that gave her a sense that she was safe.
According to her, she was offered a job to travel out of the country and live with couple’s kids as their guardian while they schooled there in 2016.
Giving details of the rape, which she said happened in 2017, she said she had gone to see Fatoyinbo to run errands like she usually did and as they talked, he moved closer and then started trying to take off her pants and kiss her.
“I was wearing a high waisted blue jeans, I can never forget,” she said.
She said she repeatedly asked him to stop and when it was obvious he won’t she decided at that point there was nothing she could do.
“Relax, relax, this will soon be over. That’s what he kept saying to me.”
After the deed was done, Pst Biodun started apologizing to her for hurting her as she was crying.
“I know we tell victims not to blame themselves, but at that point I blamed myself instantly. I felt like I put myself in this place.”
She said she continued working for the family after the incident because she believed if she didn’t think about it, it will be like it didn’t happen.
However, she finally resigned her employment in 2018 after informing Biodun of her decision over the phone. Thereafter, she returned to the country and also informed the family that she was done working for them.
“Being out of the country was the hardest part.” she says.
All through the interview, X as she’s referred to stressed her belief that Fatoyinbo’s wife must have been in the know about what was going on as she was the one who brought her into the family.
She also expressed the belief that some of the pastor’s mentors were aware of some of his patterns as well.
After being in the church for seven years, she described it as a “cult” saying the atmosphere there was what made it so hard to speak up and why church members were quick to believe Fatoyinbo despite the series of allegations against him.
