COZA: PFN shocked over sexual allegation against Pastor Fatoyinbo — Omobude

THE Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has expressed shock over the allegations of criminal conduct and serial impropriety that have been made against the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.

In a statement on Wednesday, in Benin by the PFN President, Rev. Felix Omobude, he said that the association was utterly shocked at the allegations, as the acts that have been alleged are not only criminal in nature but antithetical to the tenets of Christianity and a violent breach of the trust that ought to exist between members of the congregation and a minister of the gospel.

He said: “We strongly condemn this ignoble and bastardy conduct as alleged against Pastor Fatoyinbo. Our prayers, thoughts and support are with all those who have fallen victim as have been reported.”

Omobude, the General Overseer of New Covenant Gospel Church, said that the association strongly believes in the pursuit of truth and will ensure that truth is unveiled in this whole matter and appropriate sanctions served.

He noted that the embattled man of God may not in the past have subscribed to the PFN, but he, however, added that the association recognised him as a Pentecostal Pastor.

“The PFN hereby warn Pentecostal Pastors who feel they can live carelessly and take undue advantage of their congregants that PFN will not shield anyone who crosses the line.

“The PFN calls on all concerned while expressing their views over this sad issue, to be peaceful and have some respect for the Kingdom,” he said
