People claiming to be members of
the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) have been reaching out to social media
influencers to carry out a social media campaign in defence of their pastor.
Biodun Fatoyinbo, the senior
pastor of the church, was accused of rape by Busola Dakolo, a celebrity
photographer and wife of Timi Dakolo.
It was gathered that social
media opinion influencers are being offered as much as N2 million to upload
posts in defence of Fatoyinbo.
There have been comments from
various persons on social media in defence of the pastor including from Reno
Omokri, a former presidential spokesman, who said the story rings false.
In a flurry of tweets, the
ex-aide stated that although he never liked Fatoyinbo for personal reasons; the
preacher was too “sleek” and won’t stoop so low to “rape an underage girl” in
her parents’ house.
In an interview with YNaija TV,
Dakolo had alleged that the rape occurred twice in the space of four days.
Some protesters under the
platform of #ChurchTooMovement have vowed to storm the church headquarters in
Abuja on Sunday.
This is not the first time that
the pastor has been accused of rape or having sexual encounters with church
members.
The most prominent was that of
Ese Walter in 2013. Walter shared her experience on a self-named blog, which
has now been deleted.
Fatoyinbo had also denied the
allegation, attributing it to his enemies.
Church
authorities have been contacted for reactions.
