The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to
the court Judgement which struck out the rape allegation made by Busola Dakolo
against Pastor Biodun Fatoyibo and also awarded N1m as damages in favour of the
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly Founder.
Pastor Bayo Oladeji, media aide of the President of
Christian Association of Nigeria Revd Samson Ayokunle who spoke to Vanguard on
his behalf, said the image of the Nigerian church has been dented by the rape
allegation and the court proceedings.
The CAN President also urged Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and
Busola Dakolo to put away all that happened and reconcile.
“While we note that the image of the Nigerian Church and its
leadership was dented before and during the court proceedings, CAN urges Pastor
Fatoyinbo and Mrs Dakolo, to put away all that has transpired and reconcile.
“The Church preaches forgiveness and reconciliation, and
that is our position as the umbrella body of Christians in the country.
“We begrudge neither Pastor Fatoyinbo nor Busola Dakolo, and
urge them to extend a similar hand of love and fellowship to each other"
he said.
