CAN speaks on COZA Pastor , Timi Dakolo rift
The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, North-Central chapter, Rev. Israel Akanji, has lend his voice to the allegations of rape levelled against the senior pastor of commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo.
Rev Akanji while adressing members said that God can still forgive the embattled pastor even if he is found guilty.
However, Akanji, who is in charge of the First Baptist Church in Garki, Abuja said even a condemned thief was pardoned by Jesus Christ at the Cross of Calvary, hence Fayotinbo was not beyond redemption even if he was guilty.
Akanji said: “I still pray for that pastor (Fatoyinbo). I am not sure he erred; I have no right to judge because I don’t know whether the accusations against him are true or false. It has yet to be determined but even if it is true, I still pray that God will restore him fully to the work of the ministry.
“Individuals locked up by the EFCC who are seen to be the worst people on the face of the earth… we pray for them. And that church, we needed to go and speak and pray with them because of what they were passing through and that is what we did.
“Now, people may have different opinions but I hold the bible as the pastor, First Baptist Church, Garki, Abuja. I have no regret that I went to.
Recall that Pst Fotoyinbo and the Dakolo family have been having running battle over allegation of rape involving Busola Dakolo and the Pastor.
