Actor and vlogger, Akah Nnani, has asked his pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, to respond to the rape allegations made against him by Busola Dakolo.
Nnani made the request via Instagram on Friday.
“I woke up to several missed calls, and text messages. My friends know my relationship with @cozaglobal. Let me say this. COZA is my church. I love my pastor… But rape, is a serious issue. My stomach churns as I write this. I spoke with @timidakolo a week ago and tried to understand why he had taken a stance against my pastor. I had just come back from honeymoon when all my friends sent me his attacks to my pastor a few weeks ago.
“I sought to understand, not to attack. I was under so much turmoil too because this is my church, my pastor, and I cannot go around like nothing is happening and the church isn’t addressing anything or re-assuring the members.
We must not see evil and cover it. We must not see evil and turn the other way. You all know me. I attack and speak out against corrupt political leaders everytime. Well, this has hit home. Our leaders and our fathers must be held accountable. And they must deem us worthy to be answerable to. If we cannot clean in the church, forget it. We cannot clean the country. I am tired of hearing so much, so much rubbish about my church and leadership over the years especially cos of the industry I belong to, nothing passes our ears behind the scene. My pastor @biodunfatoyinbo has to say something this time,” he wrote.
Busola Dakolo made the accusation in an interview with Chude Jideonwo on YNaija TV.
In the interview, she revealed that as a teenager in the Divine Delight Club, the precursor to COZA, she was groomed and raped by the pastor.
The mother of three said it happened while she was a 16-year-old secondary school student living with her parents in Ilorin, Kwara State.
