We stand by our Founding and Senior Pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, who has been at the receiving end of organized blackmail and all sorts of attacks because of his innocence and we are sure that our faithful and unfailing God will vindicate him very soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for Busola Dakolo, justice will soon be served. We would like to, again, for the record reiterate that our Senior Pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo has never had anything personal to do with her. Busola was not raped by Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo and she had never been in a relationship with him either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see this ugly development fuelled by envy and sheer jealousy as an unnecessary distraction and a fight from the pit of hell against the ministry that God gave Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, as well as a declaration of war against the Church of Christ to which COZA is a flourishing branch under God\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not unaware that certain pastors that felt threatened by the unprecedented growth of COZA and the grace of God upon His Servant are after some of our members, just making every effort to cash in on the attack against God\u2019s servant. There was nothing they had not done behind the scene until this rape scandal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are accusing our Pastor of snatching their members. Some are even asking why he couldn\u2019t remain in Ilorin. Our focus is the Kingdom of God and winning souls for Christ. COZA is home to those who have sold out to Jesus. At COZA, we believe that every sent servant of God has his or her harvest field given to him or her by God and not by poaching souls or believers of another ministry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe therefore urge those sponsoring these evils to desist however if they do not, the God of vengeance will visit them. They should let Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo continue freely with his divine mandate that our Lord Jesus Christ gave him. It is ungodly and sinful to be used by satan against the anointed\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) has condemned what it called recent \u2018unprovoked satanic campaign of calumny orchestrated against its leadership and members by agents of darkness.\u2019 Ademola Adetuberu, Executive Senior Assistant to the Senior Pastor, in a statement on Saturday, said the church would like to break its silence and clear certain misconception and misinformation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":15733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,30],"tags":[413,863,862],"class_list":["post-15731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-community","tag-church","tag-commonwealth-of-zion-assembly","tag-coza"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
