Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo Steps Down, Releases Statement

Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo has stepped down as the head pastor of The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) following the allegations levelled against him by Busola, wife of popular Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo.

The pastor took to his Instagram page to make the announcement and urge his members to pray for him and the church in this period of crises.

See statement; 

The past few days have been very sobering for me. I have taken time to pray and seek spiritual counsel from Christian leaders around the world who feel very concerned about the ongoing reports in the media. I have solicited their guidance on actions I should take that are honouring to our Lord Jesus Christ and the work He has called me to do.

Drawing from their counsel and that of the leadership of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly and owing to my love for God’s work and the sacred honour of my calling, I have decided to take a leave of absence from the pulpit of the church.

Although it would break my heart to tatters to stay a day without doing ministry I believe it is the right thing to do at this time. It is in the interest of the flock of Christ that issues concerning me do not become a distraction to their worship of their Lord. 

This step enables me to submit to the concerns of my spiritual mentors as they consider all the issues that have been raised against me. 

My confidence in the Lord remains unwavering. Though, I do not understand all that is happening, I trust the Lord to lead and guide me one step at a time. Kindly pray for me and the congregation of COZA as we seek the face of the Lord during these turbulent times. 

Thank you and God bless you
