This is coming at a time when a former staff of COZA also alleged
that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo raped her sometime in 2017 at the pastor’s
house.
According to her, Pastor Fatoyinbo asked her to come to his house
outside Nigeria on the particular day (a Thursday morning) to take some
instructions and go for an errand but the scenario changed after he stopped discussing the church and grabbed her towards him.
