Currently trending in the Nigeria news space is a viral video, showing two representatives of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN pledging support to pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly church (COZA) following rape allegations by Busola Dakolo wife of Nigerian gospel singer, Timi Dakolo.

Speaking during the service yesterday, the president of CAN Abuja, Reverend Jonah Samson and CAN President North Central, Reverend Israel Akanji spoke to the congregation, pledging their support and prayers for Fatoyinbo and COZA church as they face this hard time.

In his speech, Reverend Jonah said:

”I assure you that we are with you and we will continue to be with you. We are in support of the church. We are in support of your pastor. We stand by him and this church will continue to match forward. I declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against this church in the mighty name of Jesus.”

On his part, Reverend Akanji said Jesus expects his followers to be like the good Samaritan who was there to give help to a wounded soldier and not turn his back on such a soldier.
