JUST IN: Rape Scandal: Two arrested as hooded SSS officials storm COZA

Two unidentified men have been taken into custody by security agents after they turned up at a planned protest outside the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Abuja.

The church has come under nationwide interest since one of its members came out Friday to accuse Biodun Fatoyinbo, its lead preacher, of rape.

Busola Dakolo, the wife of the musician Timi, said she was raped by Mr Fatoyinbo at age 16 in Ilorin, Kwara State.

Mr Fatoyinbo has denied the allegations and threatened a lawsuit.

A large segment of Nigerians on social media dismissed the preacher’s explanation and stood in solidarity with Mrs Dakolo, now a mother of three.

The rape allegation led to a call for a protest at the COZA headquarters in Abuja.

Two of the male protesters were driven away in a black Mercedes Benz C200 saloon belonging to an unidentified security agency shortly before 8:00 a.m, according to witnesses.

PREMIUM TIMES has not been able to identify the agency responsible for the arrest.

Two witnesses outside the church told PREMIUM TIMES they were angry that security agencies had started clamping down on citizens even though the protest was yet to begin.

The protest was planned for 8:30 a.m. by social media organisers.

The church has seen an increase in security measure over the weekend, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

As protesters began to arrive, more security personnel were also deployed at the church’s headquarters in Abuja’s Guzape neighbourhood.

At least 30 police officers were seen around the church. About 20 Civil Defence men were also seen scattered between the church’s junction on Murtala Muhammed Way and the church’s premises, a distance of about 1.2 kilometres.

Hooded men from the State Security Service (SSS) were also everywhere outside the church, a presence some of the protesters said was aimed at intimidating them.

About a dozen soldiers also arrived at the church at about 8:40 a.m.

At the church’s entrance, security agents have joined church security officials to conduct a thorough search of visitors and members of the congregation who wanted to go inside the auditorium ahead of service commencement at 9:00 a.m.

Both men and women were asked to leave all their belongings outside. Only mobile phones and the Holy Bible were allowed inside, PREMIUM TIMES observed.

Members of the congregation who decried the stringent measure as unnecessarily problematic.

“I have been attending this church since 2013 when we were still using the Thisday Dome in Jabi,” a female member said. “This is too much today.”

She, however, said the measure might be necessary to prevent Mr Fatoyinbo’s detractors from having their way.

“People have been trying to blackmail our pastor for a long time,” she told PREMIUM TIMES.

But two protesters interviewed by PREMIUM TIMES ahead of the protest said they were here to demand accountability from Mr Fatoyinbo, who has faced at least two separate allegations of misconduct since 2013.

Hmm...

This is not right.

Modified

I think that at the end of the day, this would be swept under the carpet. Pastor will continue, and life will go on.

And the Church will continue having issues with sin and it's consequences

When a man wake up ,pray that your di*k won't lead you to your destruction . Nothing on earth brings a man down fast as women .Ask the first man (Adam ) nothing turn a man of power and influence to element of shame and reproach like women ask the strongest man in his generation (Samson ) Nothing ends a man dream and aspiration like women asked the most heartless ,cruel and wicked military head of state in Nigeria ( Sani) .LORD HELP ME SO MY DI*K WON'T DESTROY EVERYTHING HAVE LABOURED FOR ." OLUWA MAJE KI OKO MI KOBA MI "

COZa is now trending more than APC n Buhari combined together.

After this saga, many pastors will have to keep their pricks to avoid rape allegation

The better pastors honor God by keeping their priq to whoever is their wife and no one else.

we have a more pressing issues not this rape .buhari is working very hard to set up a ruga settlement

More

All those that were busy giving their boyfriends in secondary school for free will now come out and talk about how they were raped

No Evidence. No Case!

Some members are way past brain washed...

Dis matter go plenty 4 dis man of doG

Right from when Ese Welter came out with allegation against this man I knew it was not just mere allegation, but truth.

Saying that a pastor rape you is OK,then get a lawyer and evidence and sue the pastor.

Arranging a protest today in the church shows that they were asking for Ransome or will blackmail the pastor if he failed to pay and all these are in line to hoodwink the pastor.
This is a even a very bad case except there is video or there is a WhatsApp chat like that of Neymar of Psg


Ibiyomie and omega fire pastor sex wahala nothing come out this is yet another way to tarnash someone image


There is a reason why the court are there.

We are waiting for the full gist, e be like say Timi Dakolo is already achieving what he wanted to achieve

Raping of a virgin that comes without shouting, screaming , rape that come with Krest ,rape without evidence , no body pain ,bruise,rape that occur more than twice ,in the accuser's fathers house and the accused house, rape that come with orgasm.

Some 17 year old girl are already in 2nd or 3rd year in higher institution, a 17 years old girl are been married or becoming a baby mama, how old is Regina when Ned started fucking her. Aisha is 19 years old when Buhari started fucking her ,85% of nigeria girls started having sex at age 14 (As from JSS3 class) go to public sch and see how this small small girls flirt

Hypocrite everywhere, when will they gather to protest against killings and bad government we have today.

Bleep Timi and Busola Dakolo , Bleep the Yeye Pastor that cant stay faithful to his wife

Regina Daniels and Tonto dike go dey vex by now.. this news don full Nairaland

The holy ones are the ones castigating the Pastor.

90% of Nigerian pastors are criminals.
Retired and still active

RITUALIST
RAPIST
PIMPS
HUMAN-TRAFFICERS
SLAVERS
ROBBERS
KIDNAPPERS
MURDERERS
FORNICATORS
THIEVES
FRAUDSTERS
SCAMMERS
AND THIEVES.

IT'S just very unfortunate that most Nigerians Christians are gullible and sheeps and hypocrites indeed.
They will see a young guy especially, that's so much concerned about his looks, wears the latest designers, drives very expensive cars, moves around with body quards yet, be claiming to be a pastor and my people will still be following such person
This Bukola CLAIMED to know that this pastor is a rapist and a bad person Indeed yet, she chose to remain a member of his church for still many years pretending that nothing had happened thereby thinking that she's fooling God. How pathetic!
I don't believe all her stories.
Once a teenage and for her age then, I think she and the pastor had some kind of relationship and she's only feeling used and taking advantage of now which is the reason she's confessing.
And the pull-down factor...
IF THE GUY IS A COMMONER, WILL SHE BE MAKING THIS 'CONFESSION'

Abfinest007:
we have a more pressing issues not this rape .buhari is working very hard to set up a ruga settlement

In ten states, seven in the North, the rest middle belt.

Personally he should set them up in the far North and stop cattle roaming around.

But that is one thing, this is also a serious matter. Sin is in the house. We cannot let Achan wreck us

May God help nigerians
How does this credit thier account?
How much they pay them?

Pastors not GOD

This sex issue is an embrassment to Christianity. Moslems will definitely laugh at Christians

Eeya

They should be protesting against Ruga not over mundane issues yet to be verified.

There wahala and it's a nice wahala ...catch them rapists early on ....but who sees that Muslim lady with a hijab holding a placard ?

I wonder if she would go for a protest at Central mosque to arrest an imam who defiled another ? Hypocritical modafcvka

Following

A lady just told me she wished she was the one that was raped by this pastor. O God see what the church have turned too.

See what the impatience of peniss can cause
