Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and Nathaniel Bassey
Gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey has reacted to the
allegations of rape brought against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA
church.
Bassey said he sees what’s happening as God’s mighty hand in his church.
According to him, what is happening to Biodun was God’s way of
cleansing the church and whatever is happening at the moment is not new.
He stated that incidents of this nature happened in the Bible
Times, but the elders in the Church had their ways of resolving and
dealing with the issues.
Recall that after an intense protest at the premises of the COZA
Church, Abuja yesterday by some Nigerians, the senior pastor of the
church Biodun Fatoyinbo, who is being accused of allegedly raping Busola
Dakolo, has finally stepped down.
He announced his leave of absence from the pulpit via his verified Instagram page.
He wrote,
“The past few days have been sobering for me. I have taken time
to pray and seek spiritual counsel from Christian leaders around the
world, who feel very concerned about the ongoing reports in the media. I
have solicited their guidance on actions, I should take that are
honouring to our Lord Jesus Christ and the work, he has called me to do.
“Drawing from their counsel and that of the leadership of the
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly and owing to my love for God’s word and
sacred honour of my calling, I have decided to take a leave of absence
from the pulpit of the church.
I see what’s
happening as God’s mighty hand in his church - Nathaniel Bassey #COZA
