Yemi Davids, founding pastor of Global Impact Church, Lagos, says Busola Dakolo confided in him that Biodun Fatoyinbo, founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), raped her.

In a post on Instagram on Thursday, the pastor, who reportedly joined Timi and Busola, said he was privy to some of the “personal struggles” of Busola over the years.

David spoke after Timi, a Nigerian singer, denied rumours that he got married at COZA.

“I feel the need to do this as a husband, father and Pastor. @busoladakolo got married from our church to @timidakolo and as a friend to the family, I’ve been privy to some of the personal struggle Busola has had over the years, based on the details she expressed at the recent interview. This is her truth and it should be honored,” he said.

“I commend her for her bravery and I pray this helps her healing process. I also noticed that there was a denial of the allegation. It is important that the truth comes out. Rape is a serious offense and it is unacceptable.

“A process that unveils the truth in this hurtful situation in the body must begin immediately. We leaders must be accountable and I support at arriving at Justice, Healing and Resolution at this matter.”
