In his opinion, their silence is rather odd than normal.<\/p>\n<p><!-- between content ad --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a bit odd that many pastors of prominent churches are mute on this topic of rape. It makes me wonder what is really happening. When it\u2019s a political subject they all lend their voices, now its rape in the church but they are all mute. When it comes to preaching against what members of the congregations are doing wrong, it\u2019s in Volumes 1, 2 and 3. Fornication, smoking, indecent dressing, drinking, nightclubbing, polygamy, divorce, robbery, domestic violence, terrorism, being stingy, racism, corruption, greed, homosexuality, adultery, mixing with bad gang. But touch not the Lord\u2019s anointed and do my prophets no harm\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Though the Senior Pastor of Covenant Christian Centre, Lagos, Pastor Poju Oyemade has broken silence on the matter, the likes of Pastor Williams Kumuyi, General Overseer, Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Bishop David Oyedepo,\u00a0 General Overseer, Living Faith Church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye,\u00a0 General Overseer, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, alongside many other prominent Nigerian pastors have refused to speak on the matter.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\tvar js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\tif (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\tjs = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\tjs.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=1281965775160257\";\n\t\tfjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script>\n\t\/\/Facebook\n\t(function(d, s, id) {\n\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t  js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=513460408765074\";\n\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\t<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rotimi Agbana Veteran comedian and businessman, Alibaba, has shared his thoughts on the rape allegation\u00a0 singer, Timi Dakolo\u2019s wife, Busola Dakolo, levelled against the General Overseer, Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, in a viral video interview which surfaced on social media during the early hours of Friday, June 28, 2019.
