Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has given the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) two weeks to submit report of its probe on the rape allegation against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).
PFN had set up a panel to probe the rape allegation against Fatoyinbo by Busola, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo.
Mrs Dakolo had accused Fatoyinbo of raping her when she was a teenager.
Fatoyinbo, however, denied the allegation but was forced to step down from ministerial duties in his church.
CAN President, Samson Ayokunle, at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday, explained that the body had taken its stance on the alleged rape case against Fatoyinbo.
“We have told you without mincing words that we will never support immorality in whatever form, it is alien to the culture of the church, to the teachings of Christ.
“And there is no pulpit that I know in Nigeria that the members are taught immorality, but we will not condemn until we have reasons to condemn, let the panel come out with the result let’s know what the truth is.
“I told you in the press release we issued that we have given the right to Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) because we don’t deal with individual churches, we deal with blocs,” Ayokunle said.
“We have directed PFN, an arm of a bloc, which is also large enough to investigate that matter. I am telling you under God that PFN has set up that panel and that panel had been given two weeks within which to submit its report.
“Not only that, the two individuals involved have been invited by the committee and we are assuring them that nothing will be covered.”
