Rape Allegation: Christian Association of Nigeria disowns COZA

-
The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) church is no longer a member of the Christian Association Of Nigeria family (CAN) family following the rape allegation levelled against its Senior Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo.

In press statement signed by National Legal and Public Affairs, CAN, Evang Barr Kwamkur, Samuel Vondip, the body condemned the act and admonished pastors in the country to distance themselves from rape and any act of infidelity.

CAN is deeply concerned about the ongoing rape allegation saga arising from a confessional statement by a former female member of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Mrs. Bisola Dakolo, against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, the senior pastor of COZA.

The association recognises that COZA, to the best of our knowledge, is not a member of any of the families that belong to CAN.
“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.”

CAN frowned at immoral relationships in the society and said the acts are against the teachings of the Bible and the church.

“We urge all ministers of the gospel to shun all appearances of evil especially, unregulated closeness to persons in the church. We do not know for sure whether or not some or all of the allegations of rape and illicit relationship leveled against members of the clergy are true; we strongly appeal to all Christians to avoid blackmail against any brother or sister in the church for whatever reason. All of us must avoid making ourselves vulnerable".

CAN called on the security agents and the judiciary to redouble their efforts in prosecuting the various cases of rape and other heinous crimes that are presently bedeviling our society without fear or prejudice.

CAN recognised that it must be a very trying time for the ladies who leveled allegations against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and on the other ministers whose stories are trending presently.

They said “We pray for them that to the extent to which they are true and sincere, God would strengthen and comfort them in their fight for justice".

Reno Omokri Compares President Buhari To Arya Stark Of Game Of Thrones

Reno Omokri, Former Presidential Aide to Goodluck Jonathan, has taken to social media to reveal the difference between President Buhari and Arya Stark of hit series Game of Thrones. Reno disclosed that Arya Stark determined to kill her enemies because they had done evil to her. But, on the other hand Buhari is only after his enemies simply because they voted for another party. He wrote: What is the difference between Buhari and Game of Thrones’s Arya Stark, who spent her days and nights memorising the names of her enemies she wanted to kill? At least Arya’s enemies did something EVIL to her. The only thing Buhari’s enemies did is to vote for PDP. Buhari spends his time thinking about enemies. We are world HQ for extreme poverty. Rather than think solutions, he fills his head with names of EVIL Nigerians, like a 10 year old prefect who writes only his enemies names in the noisemakers list. Buhari’s “EVIL” PDP voters comment is proof positive that the 97% versus 5% mindset th
