There is heavy police and security presence at Abuja headquarters of the
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA today.
This is following planned protest against the senior pastor of the church,
Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, over allegation of molestation of one Busola Dakolo.
Busola, the wife of popular singer, Timi Dakolo had alleged that the COZA
founder had forcefully raped her when she was young.
The mother-of-three narrated how Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way
into her when she was a teenager.
Fatoyinbo, however, denied the allegation, though admitted that Busola once
attended the same church with his family.
The clergyman consequently ordered his lawyers to institute both criminal and
civil cases against Busola.
At the time of this report, observed that the protesters had
gathered at the NNPC filling station with placards bearing various inscriptions
such as, “Step Down Pastor Biodun,” “Church not a brothel,” “stop raping your
members,” among others.
However, from the COZA junction along the AYA-Area 1 road, our
correspondent spotted some heavily armed security personnel manning the
area to forestall possible breakdown of law.
Men and officers from the Civil Defense, Police, Immigration, masked DSS
officials were seen parading the area.
Meanwhile, Sunday service is currently ongoing inside the auditorium
unperturbed.
