Wife
of singer, Timi Dakolo, Busola, has accused controversial clergyman and
founder of the CommonWealth of Zion Assembly COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo,
of sexually assaulting her when she was much younger. In an explosive
interview with YNaija, Busola, the mother of three, recounted how the
clergyman who has been embroiled in a number of sexual assault related
cases, Ese Walter being the most prominent, allegedly raped her in her
mother’s house while she was still in secondary school.
In her
interview, Busola recounted how the clergyman also allegedly tried
having sex with her inside his matrimonial home when she came in to help
his wife, Modele, when she had their first child. Recall that Timi
Dakolo recently launched an attack on the clergyman, anonymously. He
called out the pastor, accusing him of taking advantage of women in his
ministry and leaving them broken emotionally.

interview belowON MEETING BIODUN FATOYINBO FOR THE FIRST TIMEBusola
Dakolo was born and lived most of her early life in Ilorin.
The
first time she left Ilorin was for secondary school at Suleja and that
time away allowed her really find her Christianity. She joined and rose
to become the vice-president of the Gifted School Academy Suleja’s
fellowship and embraced a conservative approach to Christianity, growing
to become distrustful of churches and fellowships that tried to copy
worldly trends as a way to reach people outside the church.
She
returned home for the holidays to find that her sisters had started
attending a non-denominational ‘youth club’ that embraced all kinds of
people and focused on worship and fellowship over doctrine and legalism.
It took a while but her sisters convinced her to go by telling her she
needed to meet different kinds of people, especially former prostitutes
and cultists that have given their lives to Christ.Busola reluctantly
joined her sisters for the youth club, but she wasn’t comfortable there,
partly because of the way they worshipped and because I was the
youngest person there.
After the service, there was a first
timers call, and Busola stood up and introduced herself, explaining her
initial skepticism and how their worship had changed her mind. After the
service, the pastor of the club, a much younger Biodun Fatoyinbo came
looking for her after the service. Pastor Biodun wasn’t yet married (
though he was engaged to his current wife) and the Commonwealth of Zion
Assembly (COZA) wasn’t yet a church, it was called Divine Delight
Club.He expressed his surprise at how bold she was for someone so young
and encouraged her to keep speaking up for herself.
