BEVERLY HILLS, July 01, (THEWILL) – The Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) worldwide, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo has announced his decision to take leave of absence from his position.
The pastor said the decision follows spiritual counsel from Christian leaders and spiritual mentors following recent allegations of rape levelled against him.
“The past few days have been very 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 the sacred honour of my called, I have decided to take a leave of absence from the pulpit of the church,” Fatoyinbo said in a post on his official Instagram handle.
THEWILL recalls that Busola Dakolo, wife of singer Timi Dakola had in a video that went viral accused Fatoyinbo of raping her as a teenager.
This led to protesters storming the church premises in Abuja on Sunday calling for his prosecution.
