Weeks after singer Timi Dakolo accused Biodun Fatonyibo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, of sexually molesting women, Busola Dakolo, a photographer and Timi’s wife has accused the Pastor of rape.
She said an interview with Y!Naija that some years ago, while she was still below the age of 18, the pastor allegedly visited her parents’ home when no one was in the house and raped her, deflowering her in the process.
According to her: “We were living in a duplex at the time. The gate is usually open and people would just knock on the living room door and we would open. My mum had travelled with my sister and it was just my other sister in the house. The house was so big that if you were upstairs, you would not know what is happening downstairs.
“Someone knocked on the door around 6.30am or 7:00 a.m. It was pretty early, I was still in my nightgown. I asked who it was and he said Pastor Biodun. I was wondering what he was doing in our house so early.
She said, “He was already married at that time and his wife had just given birth to a baby”
Nigerians react
I’m giving Pastor Biodun 24 hours to reply,apologise and also face the law or else I might just fuck around on Sunday and go to COZA with placards saying RAPIST .

Gather 20 Unilorin Ladies who were active COZA members, you'll be shocked how many has been raped or assaulted by Biodun Fatoyinbo at one time or the other.
That Beast needs to be caged!

Dear @segalink and other lawyers in the house. Are there legal limitations that makes it impossible for the @PoliceNG to apprehend Biodun Fatoyinbo and possibly shut down COZA till we are sure he is clear and can no longer be at risk to unsuspecting women? Or do we keep looking?

Criminal complaints of sexual assaults have consistently been made against Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA. The latest being that of Busola Dakolo. No criminal complaint should be filed before you to act; the law suo motu empowers you to act. And swiftly.

You didn't believe Ese Walter
You didn't believe other women.
Busola Dakolo is speaking up and you don't believe her.If you're still defending COZA Pastor Biodun, you're an enabler of rape.

Pastor agba ọtọ na ama!!
Busola Dakolo is a strong woman, for speaking up. So, In view of the current scandal, if you had his attention, what would be your advice to COZA Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, going forward! #PastorRight #StandforTruth pic.twitter.com/Vvf4YtNC6O

I went to Unilorin btw 2005/2009, I didn't know Fatoyinbo physically then, but his reputation in the early 2000s is not something to write home about. There were rumours that Pastor Biodun was a member or Aye Confraternity. Coza then was like a club house.

If you’re still a member of COZA, especially as a young adult woman, look within and find some shame. Be ashamed of yourself.

I repeat… if you attend COZA on Sunday you support rape, don’t tell me you’re going to hear his reply, he will not answer you people, he knows y’all will follow him no matter what.

The COZA pastor hasn't denied the rape allegations cos he's a man of God and men of God don't lie.

While conversation around RAPE, Busola Dakolo and COZA Pastor Biodun is on going, you all have opinion like you always do, but note that the “TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED” bible verse u love quoting was NEVER about ur pastors in the first place. Read your Bible, grow sense or shut up!!
