These past days, the thought-provoking rape allegation made against Fatoyinbo by Busola Dakolo have triggered a lot of reactions from many Nigerians of diverse backgrounds.
Thelagostimes recalls that wife of singer, Timi Dakolo, Busola, had accused controversial clergyman and founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, of sexually assaulting her when she was much younger.
Fatoyinbo also responded, saying he’s never raped anyone before. Some days after the interview, the embattled pastor stepped down.
However, reports going round suggests that the intervention of the senior Pastor of the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) London, Matthew Ashimolowo, who is rumoured to be the “spiritual father” resulted in Fatoyinbo’s stepping down from COZA.
According to a report by Checkout magazine, a very cordial relationship exists between Ashimolowo and Fatoyinbo.
Ashimolowo, who has been maintaining a father-son relationship with Fatoyinbo, has been providing strategic platforms and contacts, particularly in international Pentecostal Christian circles, to the youthful preacher to deepen his spiritual growth and experience.
Last May, Fatoyinbo was featured amongst the top speakers of the KICC’s Spring Bible Conference 2019 tagged “Audacious”, which was held at the church’s headquarters in London.
Findings from the society magazine revealed that Ashimolowo felt terribly embarrassed and disturbed by the weight of the allegation against Fatoyinbo.
The medium was reliably informed that the elderly pastor couldn’t hold back his profound discontent as he called Fatoyinbo to step down amongst other measures he suggested would be effective in getting to the truth of the shocking scandal.
