Lagos-based cleric, Apostle Chris Omatsola, has asked the embattled founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, to seek God’s face for mercy and return to ministry.
Omatsola, the head of Zionwealth Church, Lekki, Lagos, was in the news last year over a viral sex tape involving him and his lover, Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho.
Speaking to ThePunch on Saturday, Omatsola said he believed the allegations made by singer, Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola, against Fatoyinbo were true.
“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 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.
“He should go through a psycho-therapy process and heal up and he should give all the necessary legal attention to the case.”
He added, “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.”
Recall that another lady, who spoke on condition of anonymity in an interview with Y!Naija, which was aired during the week, also accused Fatoyinbo of raping her.
The lady, who said she was an employee of COZA, alleged that the incident happened in 2017 at the pastor’s house.
