The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday said to the best of its knowledge, the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) whose senior pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, was enmeshed in a rape scandal is not a member of any of the families that belong to CAN.
The apex Christian association stated in a statement titled “The position of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on the widespread allegations of rape against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA)” that it was worried about recurrent allegations of rape and infidelity against some gospel ministers and other Christians.
The position of the association which was issued in a statement signed by the association’s national director, legal and public affairs, Barr. Kwamkur Samuel Vondip, in Jos said it was deeply concerned about the ongoing rape allegation arising from a confessional statement by a former female member of COZA, Mrs. Bisola Dakolo against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
“While efforts must be made to get to the root of the matter through thorough investigation, the Association condemns totally any act of infidelity either by a pastor or any member of the church of God.
Immoral relationships with anybody in the society are against the teachings of the Bible and the church and we urge all believers all over the country to run away from them because, as the Bible says and we strongly believe, adulterers and fornicators God will judge (Heb. 13:4).”
