Nathaniel Bassey, popular Nigerian gospel musician and trumpeter, has weighed in on the ongoing rape saga involving the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, Biodun Fatoyinbo.<\/p>\n

Bassey said the current rape saga was an indication that God was cleansing the church.<\/p>\n

Recall that wife of popular musician, Timi Dakolo, Busola, had alleged that the COZA founder forcefully raped her when she was young.<\/p>\n

The mother-of-three narrated how Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way into her when she was a teenager.<\/p>\n

Fatoyinbo, who denied the allegation, however, admitted that Busola once attended the same church with his family.<\/p>\n

The clergyman consequently ordered his lawyers to institute both criminal and civil cases against Busola.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the saga, Bassey in an Instagram post wrote: \u201cThanks for joining the Live session. Highlights<\/p>\n

\u201c1. Even in this turbulent times. God is purging His church. And things that can be shaken are shaken.<\/p>\n

\u201c2. The care to not react, but respond after careful consideration. And the importance of following the word.<\/p>\n

\u201c3. The need to have the elders go to the root of this. No sweeping under the carpets this time. As the blood of Jesus only works in the light. 1 John 1:7.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also called on other people with evidence to come forward. And just to add, if need be, redress must be sort in the court of the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also mentioned that this was a good opportunity to bring to the fore sexual abuse going on in church. Eg, RAPE.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called for continued prayers and not just mere talking. And prayers should be along this line, THAT GOD\u2019S PURPOSE for this be fully established and implemented.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, stated that this is a wake-up call for every minister, MUSIC OR WORD leading a double life. As there seems to be a change in status quo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe end of all of this must be the salvation of soul. Reading from 1 Cor 5, Paul speaking concludes by saying this.<\/p>\n

James 1:19, James 3:15-18, I Cor 6, 1 Cor 5, Proverbs 18:13. I John 1:7.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
