Nathaniel Bassey, popular
Nigerian gospel musician and trumpeter, has weighed in on the ongoing rape saga
involving the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun
Fatoyinbo.
Bassey said the current rape saga
was an indication that God was cleansing the church.
Recall that wife of popular
musician, Timi Dakolo, Busola, had alleged that the COZA founder 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, who denied the
allegation, however, 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.
Reacting to the saga, Bassey in
an Instagram post wrote: “Thanks for joining the Live session. Highlights
“1. Even in this turbulent times.
God is purging His church. And things that can be shaken are shaken.
“2. The care to not react, but
respond after careful consideration. And the importance of following the word.
“3. The need to have the elders
go to the root of this. No sweeping under the carpets this time. As the blood
of Jesus only works in the light. 1 John 1:7.
“I also called on other people
with evidence to come forward. And just to add, if need be, redress must be
sort in the court of the land.
“I also mentioned that this was a
good opportunity to bring to the fore sexual abuse going on in church. Eg,
RAPE.
“I called for continued prayers
and not just mere talking. And prayers should be along this line, THAT GOD’S
PURPOSE for this be fully established and implemented.
“Also, stated that this is a
wake-up call for every minister, MUSIC OR WORD leading a double life. As there
seems to be a change in status quo.
“The end of all of this must be
the salvation of soul. Reading from 1 Cor 5, Paul speaking concludes by saying
this.
James 1:19, James 3:15-18, I Cor
6, 1 Cor 5, Proverbs 18:13. I John 1:7.”
