Popular Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has set the record straight regarding rumours about his association with the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly and its lead pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
It had been rumoured that the rape allegation levelled against Pastor Fatoyinbo was as a result of a fall out between the Dakolos, who were supposedly former members of COZA, and the pastor.
Timi has however dismissed all such claims on social media and has backed his story with video evidence.
According to the rumour mill, Timi and his wife Busola got married in COZA and their wedding was officiated by Pastor Fatoyinbo.
This is however untrue as the singer posted a video of his wedding on his Instagram page showing a different pastor reading their vows to them.
In his post he noted that desperate people are spreading lies to make their story seem false but he is ready to set the record straight regarding all the rumours going around.
He mentioned that he was never a member of COZA and as such was never a music director in the church, adding that he had never met Pastor Fatoyinbo and the preacher who officiated his wedding was Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church.
He also debunked rumours of him having a child and a spiritual wife before getting married to his wife Busola.
He wrote:
“Desperate people do desperate things including ridiculous attempts at a smear campaign. So let me address this foolishness once and for all
“1• First the ridiculous rumour that Biodun wedded us. Please watch the video yourself, does the Pastor look like Biodun Fatoyinbo?
“His name is Pastor Seyi of Global Impact church officiating the wedding and that is a statement from Yemi Davids, Pastor of Global impact church on this issue …but nameless and faceless cyberbullies can’t read, can they?
“2• I have never met or been in the same space with Biodun Fatoyinbo nor do I ever want to be and have never been a member of COZA
“3• I guess that also answers the desperate attempt to say I was a music director in COZA. Funny as I have never been a music director in ANY church!
“A church cant have an anonymous music director can they? Foolishness!
“4• Apparently I had a child, divorced and remarried Busola – Spirit wife and child tings # AfricaMagic, and Busola was given a monetary gift, car and flown to Chicago.
“No be only Chicago, na Soweto. Please do better, tell more believable lies.
“Again I say, desperate people will do desperate things …but as I said before …WE. ARE.READY.
“We came out to speak on this painful matter. To bear the shame that goes with this, to be ridiculed, to be doubted …just so that others might be saved and justice served.
“We are not backing down and no amount of manufactured lies can stop the truth that has started to unveil… #notinmychurch #unbroken #truth”
