Reverend Samson Ayokunle, the president of the Christian Association
of Nigeria CAN,says the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has two
weeks to submit its report on its investigation with regards to the rape
allegation leveled against the senior pastor of the Commonwealth of
Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, by Busola Dakolo, wife of
singer, Timi Dakolo.
Recall that PFN had constituted a probe panel after the explosive
interview Busola granted in which she made the claim on June 28th.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja yesterday July 18th, Reverend Ayokunle told newsmen that rape stands condemned by CAN.
“We have told you without mincing words that we will never support
immorality in whatever form, it is alien to the culture of the church,
to the teachings of Christ. And there is no pulpit that I know in
Nigeria that the members are taught immorality, but we will not condemn
until we have reasons to condemn, let the panel come out with the result
let’s know what the truth is. I told you in the press release we issued
that we have given the right to Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN)
because we don’t deal with individual churches, we deal with blocs.We have directed PFN, an arm of a bloc, which is also large enough to
investigate that matter. I am telling you under God that PFN has set up
that panel and that panel had been given two weeks within which to
submit its report. Not only that, the two individuals involved have been
invited by the committee and we are assuring them that nothing will be
covered.” he said
