<p>For the first time since Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo and Busola
Dakolo’s rape news broke, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church
of God, RCCG, Pastor E.A. Adeboye has broken silence on the well advertised,
analysized and protested scandal. Intelligently, he made his comment with an
admirable caution.</p>



<p>Mrs
Dakolo, wife of popular singer, Timi Dakolo, former chorister and member of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly COZA, told YNaija
on Thursday, June 27, in the emotional interview, that she was 16 when Pastor
Abiodun  ;Fatoyinbo, the senior pastor of
the church, raped her in Ilorin, Kwara State.</p>



<p>Simultaneously,
there were torrents of reactions from different quarters, associations, union
including, of course, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN and Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN. </p>



<p>The
allegations prompted condemnation of the preacher, who had allegedly faced
previous allegations of sexual misconduct from two women.</p>



<p>On
Sunday, June 30,  ;scores of protesters
gathered at the church’s headquarters in Abuja to march against Fatoyinbo. Protests
also held in Lagos, a development that made the embattled pastor to announce
that he would be  ;”taking a leave of
absence from the pulpit of the church.”</p>



<p>The
pastor’s decision came amid public outcry which called on him to step down and
address the rape allegations levelled against him by Busola, who, as of Friday,
July 5, had approached the police for necessary prosecution process.</p>



<p>Since
the news broke, many Nigerians including notable pastors have aired their
opinions and also called for an investigation to be carried out to ascertain
the truth of the matter that allegedly happened 20 years ago.</p>



<p>Reacting
to the news, Pastor Adeboye who spoke during a service at the Redemption Camp,
stated that he doesn’t have much to say other than what the Christian
Association of Nigeria, CAN, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN,
have said.</p>



<p>“I
don’t want to comment on some happenings… Like I’ve always told you when people
say ‘why don’t you talk?’. I say I’m under authority. The Redeemed Christian Church
of God belongs to CAN and we belong to PFN. And in CAN we have a president, in
PFN we have a president. Whatever they say, that’s what I’ve said. That’s why I
kept my mouth shut”, he said.</p>



<p>Pastor
Adeboye also had a word of advice for aspiring ministers of God. According to
him, there’s nothing hidden that shall not come to the open. He went on to warn
them that their sins will surely find them.</p>



<p>Speaking
further, the man of God warned the aspiring ministers to flee from youthful
lust and evil.</p>



<p>“When
you see a sister smiling at you in a koi koi way, run. Run as in terror. Don’t
say, ‘nah, I’m a great man of God, I’m highly anointed’. Ask Samson”, he said.</p>
