Apostle Chris Omatsola, a cleric based in Lagos, said the decision of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, the founder of the Commonwealth Assembly of Zion, to step down on the allegation of rape against him is the proper thing to do.
He said he trusted the tale of Busola Dakolo and encouraged Fatoyinbo to retrace his step.
In an interview with Saturday Punch, Omatsola, who is the head of Zionwealth Church, Lekki, Lagos said, “I went to see him (Fatoyinbo) and we discussed for over two hours. What he suggested to me then is what he is doing right now. Stepping down is the right thing to do.
“Honestly, I believe Busola’s story. She cannot come out to lie against him. What for? Is it for money or fame?
“Busola and her husband, Timi Dakolo, are already famous and have money. I believe she did it for conscience’s sake and to help other people.
“I advise that he (Fatoyinbo) should get himself together and push up again; it is not the end of life and (his) ministry. He should not sink into depression. He should get things right with God.
“He has taken the right step by stepping down so that it does not appear like he took the allegation lightly or that he mocks Christianity.
“I do not support rape or violence in any form and I believe her story. I pray that God will heal her heart and wound.”
