There is heavy police and security presence at Abuja headquarters of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA on Sunday morning
This is following planned protest against the senior pastor of the church, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, over allegation of molestation of one Busola Dakolo.
Busola, the wife of popular singer, Timi Dakolo had alleged that the COZA founder had forcefully raped her when she was young.
The mother-of-three narrated how Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way into her when she was a teenager.
Fatoyinbo, however, denied the allegation, though admitted that Busola once attended the same church with his family.
The clergyman consequently ordered his lawyers to institute both criminal and civil cases against Busola.
At the time of this report, DAILY POST observed that the protesters had gathered at the NNPC filling station with placards bearing various inscriptions such as, “Step Down Pastor Biodun,” “Church not a brothel,” “stop raping your members,” among others.
However, from the COZA junction along the AYA-Area 1 road, our correspondent spotted some heavily armed security personnel manning the area to forestall possible breakdown of law.
Men and officers from the Civil Defense, Police, Immigration, masked DSS officials were seen parading the area.
Meanwhile, Sunday service is currently ongoing inside the auditorium unperturbed.
More to follow.
