This her messaged just made me believe the guy do am truly

This is not the issue but Busola presenting the case as though it was a rape.

Chanchit:
These are the real MVPs. This is how to resolve issues, not by crying upandan. Everybody have gotten their 1mins of fame from this issue, even dead celebrities.
If not for his mentors and colleagues, he won't have stepped down, all this social media court(ist) and judges would have continued crying.

I don't know why y'all are acting like it's such a small issue that demands cover up simply because a man of God is involved. It's so bad. The preferential treatment is disgusting.

Sanchez01:

She was never raped. It was most likely a case of youthful exuberance which was clearly exploited by an older person.

exploited by an older married pastor a generaloverseer daddy in the lord at that

xarm:
See this hypocrite that her imams, alfa and probably her dad are legally raping under 10 daily and they have refuse to see any bad thing in it, now leading protest to pull Churches down in Nigeria.

You people act like there is a deliberate plan to pull down churches in Nigeria.

So people who get abused by the church shouldn't be angry and demand justice? SMH.

What have the many churches contributed to Nigeria sef? Just hypocrisy. Are we more morally upright citizens? For a country that frowns upon homosexuality to rank in the top 3 countries with the highest search of gay pornography. What have these Churches contributed that we fear would be taken away when they go?

DonCortino:
Nigga is guilty!!!

Guilty of what?

KevMitnick:
I think she nailed it. A lot of people are living in bondage in all these churches, they can't live their lives, they dare not question anything that bothers them and they cannot leave when they want because they fear being cursed by the pastors. It's very unfortunate that such spiritual abuse and control mechanism is employed in churches in order to keep members in line. Sometimes it's easier to think these methods of control were gotten straight out of an occult book.

The mind games ehn. But some people make it look as if talking about these circumstances is blasphemy, they will hush you immediately you try to point out the psychological manipulation, infact they go all ballistic on you

spongeisback:

You said she was NEVER raped. So how is statutory rape different from rape?

And you missed THE PART OF MY POST WHERE I MENTIONED THAT SEVERAL PERSONS WHO KNEW BUSOLA AT THE TIME CLAIMED SHE WAS MORE THAN 17?

What is the age of consent in Nigeria? It has always been disputable; 11 is but some quarters claim it is 18. Mind you, Northerners marry a girl child before 18.

What I am implying is that FATOYINBO'S LAWYERS WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY ON COURT if statutory rape is the basis for the case. They would digress from whether or not he had sex with her to contesting her age and digging up details about her age.

If he is charged on grounds of sexual predatory assault, he won't scale through. Even though she consented, questions around her innocence would be the focus. Did you not follow Bill Cosby's, Surviving R Kelly and Michael Jackson's events

Anybody still doubting this COZA pastor rape scandal should better go and watch the lastest video of another victim on ynaija tv on YouTube

Sanchez01:

Fact finding is the least of her focus in the post. It was largely about righting the wrongs and she apologized. Why would she apologize if she has no hint of a thing? Why do you think she mentioned 'forms of abuse'?

So why was fact finding the first thing she mentioned, What busola said is just an unproven allegation ,and that is whythe first thing she mentioned was fact finding, someone cannot accuse one of doing something and such is proclaimed guilty , your guilty needs to be proven first before passing sentence . As for the rest she is just trying to be as neutral as possible to appease both parties involved and not necessarily supporting busola .

pinkygurl:

LMAO

I was careful not to use the word 'pastor' because she mentioned that it was a youth fellowship kind of thing at the time.

This your angle ehn!

Funke Adejumo is your mentor? HAAA

NoToPile:
This her post and Poju Oyemade's post admits pastor did it.

They both apologized.

Now waiting for the accused to tender his own apology.

Acceptance of guilt is an important step in repentance.

Thanks for that. Don't mind people saying he didn't do it. He did it but the issue is avoiding the case of rape (not forceful rather consensual).

Sanchez01:

Note these words in Pastor Funke's post:

1. Restitution
2. Justice CONTINUE
3... THAT THE CONGREGATION THAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED INTO OUR HANDS ARE GUIDED WITH LOVE, INTEGRITY AND WISDOM.
4. THE HOUSE OF GOD SHOULD REMAIN A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL.
5. NO FORM OF ABUSE SHOULD HAVE A PLACE IN GOD'S HOUSE.
6. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY IS WITH EVERYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED BROKEN TRUST FROM THE CHURCH. BUSOLA. EVERY GIRL. EVERY BOY. EVERY CHILD. MAN. WOMAN.
7. THE CHURCH IS EMBRACING ACCOUNTABILITY...

I'm sure she was only being diplomatic but the post in itself is subliminal. The message is as clear as day.

I understood everything she wrote up there, that's why I said they are the real MVP, if everybody continue making noise, till the second coming, there would be no solution.

spongeisback:

You said she was NEVER raped. So how is statutory rape different from rape?

Statutory rape is having consensual sex with an underaged individual (below the age of consent)
Rape is non-consensual sex whether it be violent or not

kiyosaki1:


On what basis are you basing your conclusion, where you present during the said incident , or do you has any other proof apart from busola spoken word ? So someone that has no moral value like busola cannot lie ? Mind you am not absorbing the pastor .Please let's neutral in this case ?in as much as case is a grave offence false accusations too is also of the same degree .

You adviced him to be neutral yet you posited that statement in bold alphabets. That makes you hypocritical.

blaise26abj:


I disagree. This woman and her husband misled that suspect pastor Fatoyinbo. The advice to keep quiet after Eze Walters was very wrong. He should have spoken up to apologize or defend himself. Now something that he can’t afford to keep quiet is up and these people are acting like good advisers .

But this same Ese has come out to say she just felt like causing commotion. She actually admitted that the sex was consensual, she just felt used, whatever that means. So if the pastor decides to keep quiet then, I won't blame him.

Sanchez01:

LMAO

This your angle ehn!

He was not a member na.am sure all offerings/donations were answerable to his jusridiction. Oh I get anointed man of God leading the youth christian fellowship.

Good to see people that waited patiently before reacting unlike other people that reacted like animals on heat!

This alleged rape issue, it is only 'slow people' with burning emotional energy that are supporting either of the party involved without being patient to know the truth of the matter.

Grills I have read u regurgitate this your piece over and again but in my opinion you are missing the point by not acknowledging the fact why people "lined up" behind Busola without waiting for clarity on this issue as you would want people to.

Call them "emotionally slow" and what not but one thing you fail to realise is that Nigerians have given this man the benefit of the doubt for all the series of allegations before now and you can't blame them for insisting on justice to be done this time round!

Ask yourself, if he had addressed all other allegations we won't be here! He decided to tell us about a coming "robust response' which never came. If there wasn't an outcry, would he had done the right thing by stepping down?

it's like aunty Funke is apologizing codedly . So it's like the guy did it o

Omihanifa:

You cannot use different occurrence that happens to different people under different circumstances to judge the case at hand . If truly busola belief the pastor actually raped he. I personally belief granting interviews on media is not a way of seeking redress .Why not go with her proof to the law enforcement authority and the offender will be punished appropriately .By coming to social media make many people doubt are claims and intentions. What really did she wants by name calling someone that you feel offended you ? What moves has she made since she made the accusations ? Something seems not to be okay somewhere.

So there are still people who think saying sorry or empathy means guilt, smh

This statement is implicating in a way!

Of course it's not a small issue. However Timi is now the one doing the cover up. Why is he deleting his wedding pictures and where he said he married his wife as a virgin. Let's be guided. Timi should have filed a law suit against the pastor, instead of this nonsense. Up until now, there's still no law suit. All the people offering their legal services have all ended it on social media.

We honestly respect your views and opinions about this.
You have made some good points here too.

We pray the truth be reveal soonest.

Modify : try to read our message you quoted initially and you will see what you missed.
Thank you!

God bless Pastor & Pastor (Mrs) Adejumo for this wise advice. I am still so shocked the way people reacted to Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo. This incident (if at all it ever happened) happened long time ago, pastor Fatoyinbo May have still been growing in the Lord then. How old was he then. The pressure may have pushed him to do what he did that time. What happens if this man has secretly begged God for forgiveness and what if God has pardoned him. In our daily life, we commit one form of sin or the other and we plead to God for forgiveness and God forgives us. Why are we castigating Pastor Fatoyinbo as if we are all innocent. Lot of people that want the downfall of this man may be those who last night went into their house-help’s room to also carry out the same thing Busola alleged Pastor Fatoyinbo did to her.
Let’s us be wise is judging this man and let him have his peace. God is a merciful Father, He is always forgiving us anytime we err provided we confess our sins and plead for forgiveness.

9jahotblog:
Pastor Funke Adejumo has reacted to the rape allegation against Pastor Fatoyinbo by Busola Dakolo, which led to protests and his stepping down as the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly.

Pastor Funke Adejumo who alongside her husband, Pastor Felix Adejumo was accused of allegedly restraining Pastor Fatoyinbo from reacting when Ese Walters first accused him of having a sexual relationship with her in 2013, disclosed that it took her time to publicly react to the recent rape allegation because "work has to be done to enable the process of resolution."

The Agape Christian Ministries Pastor noted that the COZA founder sees her and her husband as mentors She expressed sympathy to everyone who has experienced broken trust from the church including Busola Dakolo.

She wrote;

THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN HEAVY, NOT JUST IN A GENERAL SENSE OF A NATIONAL RECKONING BUT IN A VERY PERSONAL SENSE AS SOME OF US WHO PASTOR BIODUN FATOYINBO, THE FOUNDER OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF ZION ASSEMBLY CONSIDERS LEADERS AND MENTORS IN THE FAITH HAVE WORKED QUIETLY BEHIND THE SCENES FOLLOWING THE SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS OF RAPE MADE BY BUSOLA DAKOLO.

IT HAS TAKEN ME TIME TO SPEAK PUBLICLY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WORK FIRST HAD TO BE DONE TO ENABLE THE PROCESS OF RESOLUTION. THIS WAS THE MORE URGENT, PERSONAL TASK. TODAY, I AM THANKFUL TO GOD FOR THE COUNSEL THAT HAS SEEN BIODUN STEP DOWN TO ALLOW THE PROCESS OF FACT FINDING, HEALING, RESTITUTION AND JUSTICE CONTINUE.

ALSO SO THAT THE CONGREGATION THAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED INTO OUR HANDS ARE GUIDED WITH LOVE, INTEGRITY AND WISDOM. THE HOUSE OF GOD SHOULD REMAIN A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL. NO FORM OF ABUSE SHOULD HAVE A PLACE IN GOD'S HOUSE.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY IS WITH EVERYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED BROKEN TRUST FROM THE CHURCH. BUSOLA. EVERY GIRL. EVERY BOY. EVERY CHILD. MAN. WOMAN.

THE CHURCH IS EMBRACING ACCOUNTABILITY – AND IT IS EXACTLY AS JESUS HAS REQUESTED THAT WE MUST. FFA... HONORING GOD AND BLESSING HUMANITY

Restitution nailed it! Fatoyinbo guilty

TVSA:

It seems you lack comprehension of simple narrative. How is she apologising ? Or am I reading different message. She is only trying to do what is the best practice in a sensitive case like the case of rape , that's why she mentioned allegation.

tstx:
So it is safe now to conclude that the man did it...


Spits

That was what you use your coned- brain to deduce from her comments.
.. a disgrace to the school that certified you.

So much said yet nothing was said. Who else feel same?
