Akah Nnani, who had earlier requested Pastor Fatoyinbo to give his own side of the story, has renounced COZA. Just a day after his protest at the premises of COZA, the Nollywood actor went ahead to renounce his membership to the church on social media. He was among several other protesters on Sunday, 30th June 2019, who sought for Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo to step down.
If you recall, Plat4om reported some days ago how celebrity photographer Busola Dakolo accused the senior pastor of COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo, of r*ping her. According to the video interview, the incident had occurred 17 years ago when she was underage.
Amidst the intense reaction from the public against the Pastor is that of the Nigerian actor, Akah Nnani. He was a member of COZA prior to his recently released statement.
Initially, he revealed how he has treaded carefully to avoid jungle justice. However, he has now made his stance on the matter clear. In his statement, he said, “It has taken me time, but I am finally here.”
He added: “I am no longer a member of that church. I call on everyone who has a conscience to boycott @cozaglobal.”
Read his full statement below
“After watching @busoladakolo account, I believed her 100%. But I was advocating for proper procedures of getting justice on this matter because of reasons best known to me. Again, I was still in shock too. I admit, I still am in shock. I’m also not a fan of jungle justice or court of public opinion because I suffered it in secondary school wrongfully.
“But after the behaviour of the church organisation today on this matter, not just the pastor, there is no need.
“It is shameful for me to call myself a member of that church. A friend said to me “his moves are like that of Pablo Escobar”. I couldn’t help but agree. It has taken me time, but I am finally here.
“We will say it for what it is. Until facts state otherwise, Pastor @biodunfatoyinbo is a r****t. There is a syndicate around him that protects him, and this involves Pastor Flo of Lagos Church, Pastor Wole of PH parish, church staff, other ministers and I dare say, his wife.”
“I am no longer a member of that church. I call on everyone who has a conscience to boycott @cozaglobal.”
“Thank you to every Nigerian fighting. Thank you to every celebrity using their voice. You understand that your influence is not for you. Thank you. I drew strength from your voice.
“We continue to pray for him that God will touch his heart to own up to his crimes and the light of God to expose everyone involved in the syndicate.
“I stand with Busola Dakolo, I stand with every woman who has been r*ped. I stand against r*pe and r*pe culture. I stand against the rot in the church. @timidakolo I am 100% with you. #istandwithbusoladakolo
“I rest my case on this matter now.
“Let the place scatter!!”
