CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayoukunle, said the association did not have the authority to look into the matter.
The Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN) has distanced
itself from the rape scandal rocking the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA)
and its founder, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayoukunle, said the association did
not have the authority to look into the matter.
It will be recalled that Busola Dakolo, a popular
photographer and wife of Timi Dakolo accused Pastor Fatoyinbo of raping her
twice as a young girl.
However, Fatoyinbo denied the allegation in a statement
issued out and posted on his Instagram page stating that he would press charges
against Busola Dakolo, her husband and others involved directly and indirectly
in the rape accusation.
While reacting to the issue, the CAN president's media aide,
Pastor Oladeji Adebayo, said CAN would not interfere in the matter as it only
serves as a mouthpiece between the church and the government.
“I am sorry CAN does not intervene in how churches are
running. Churches belong to denominations and these are the two bodies that
regulate how pastors run their ministries, not CAN. CAN deal with
intrareligious matters and stands between the church and the government,“ he
told New Telegraph.
