Rape Scandal: Jealous pastors behind Fatoyinbo’s ordeal – COZA
The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) has released an official statement reacting to the rape allegation against their senior pastor, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo, by Busola Dakolo, wife of singer Timi Dakolo.
Busola in a tell-all interview released in June, accused Fatoyinbo of raping her when she was a teenager while attending his church in Ilorin and he has since denied the allegation.
According to Tribune, a statement issued by the Executive Senior Assistant to the Senior Pastor of COZA, Ademola Adetuberu, on Saturday September 21st, it was stated that Fatoyinbo never raped Busola, rather it was the doing of some pastors that had been working hard to tarnish the image of their founder.
The statement reads:
WE SEE THIS UGLY DEVELOPMENT FUELLED BY ENVY AND SHEER JEALOUSY AS AN UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION AND A FIGHT FROM THE PIT OF HELL AGAINST THE MINISTRY THAT GOD GAVE REV. BIODUN FATOYINBO, AS WELL AS A DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST THE CHURCH OF CHRIST TO WHICH COZA IS A FLOURISHING BRANCH UNDER GOD’S GRACE.
AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT UNPROVOKED SATANIC CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY ORCHESTRATED AGAINST THE LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH, COMMONWEALTH OF ZION ASSEMBLY (COZA) BY AGENTS OF DARKNESS, THE CHURCH WOULD LIKE TO BREAK ITS SILENCE AND CLEAR CERTAIN MISCONCEPTION AND MISINFORMATION BEING CHURNED OUT IN ORDER TO MISGUIDE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH, PUBLIC AND RELEVANT AUTHORITIES THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT RAPE.
WE STAND WITH ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF RAPE. WE STAND BY OUR FOUNDING AND SENIOR PASTOR, REV. BIODUN FATOYINBO, WHO HAS BEEN AT THE RECEIVING END OF ORGANIZED BLACKMAIL AND ALL SORTS OF ATTACKS BECAUSE OF HIS INNOCENCE AND WE ARE SURE THAT OUR FAITHFUL AND UNFAILING GOD WILL VINDICATE HIM VERY SOON.
AS FOR BUSOLA DAKOLO, JUSTICE WILL SOON BE SERVED. WE WOULD LIKE TO, AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD REITERATE THAT OUR SENIOR PASTOR, REV. BIODUN FATOYINBO, HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING PERSONAL TO DO WITH HER. BUSOLA WAS NOT RAPED BY REV. BIODUN FATOYINBO AND SHE HAD NEVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM EITHER.
WE ARE NOT UNAWARE THAT CERTAIN PASTORS THAT FELT THREATENED BY THE UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH OF COZA AND THE GRACE OF GOD UPON HIS SERVANT ARE AFTER SOME OF OUR MEMBERS, JUST MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO CASH IN ON THE ATTACK AGAINST GOD’S SERVANT. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY HAD NOT DONE BEHIND THE SCENE UNTIL THIS RAPE SCANDAL. THEY ARE ACCUSING OUR PASTOR OF SNATCHING THEIR MEMBERS. SOME ARE EVEN ASKING WHY HE COULDN’T REMAIN IN ILORIN. OUR FOCUS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND WINNING SOULS FOR CHRIST. COZA IS HOME TO THOSE WHO HAVE SOLD OUT TO JESUS. AT COZA, WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY SENT SERVANT OF GOD HAS HIS OR HER HARVEST FIELD GIVEN TO HIM OR HER BY GOD AND NOT BY POACHING SOULS OR BELIEVERS OF ANOTHER MINISTRY.
THOSE SPONSORING THESE EVILS TO DESIST HOWEVER IF THEY DO NOT, THE GOD OF VENGEANCE WILL VISIT THEM. THEY SHOULD LET REV. BIODUN FATOYINBO CONTINUE FREELY WITH HIS DIVINE MANDATE THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIM. IT IS UNGODLY AND SINFUL TO BE USED BY SATAN AGAINST THE ANOINTED.

NDLEA Speaks on Pretty Mike’s Arrest, Warns Against ‘Drug Party’ Trend
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has cautioned nightclub operators and fun seekers across Nigeria against the growing trend of organizing and attending “drug parties”, describing the practice as a serious criminal offence under Nigerian law.
The warning follows a major raid conducted by NDLEA operatives at Proxy Night Club, located at 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, on the night of Saturday, October 25, into the early hours of Sunday, October 26, 2025.
According to a statement released on Monday, October 28, by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, over 100 attendees were arrested during the operation, alongside the club owner Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, popularly known as Pretty Mike, and his manager Joachin Millary, who are currently in custody.
“Any gathering organized for the purpose of consuming, distributing, or abusing illicit substances is an act of criminality,” Babafemi said. “These ‘drug parties’ contravene the NDLEA Act and will be treated as serious narcotic offences.”
The agency disclosed that its operatives had conducted undercover surveillance on the club prior to the raid, including pre-purchases of illicit substances, to confirm reports of ongoing drug transactions.
“For four hours, between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., our operatives observed and recorded drug transactions and abuse before disrupting the brazen display of illegality,” Babafemi added.
NDLEA officials reportedly seized 384.882 kilograms of Canadian Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, along with other narcotic substances from the club’s storage area.
While all attendees were later profiled, counselled, and released, in line with international best practices, the two principal suspects Pretty Mike and his manager remain in NDLEA custody pending further investigation.
The agency reiterated its commitment to enforcing drug laws and urged Nigerians to refrain from attending or promoting drug-related events, warning that anyone found complicit will face prosecution.
