Popular Nollywood actor and member of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Akah Nnani, has renounced his membership of the church due to the rape allegations levelled against the senior pastor of the church, Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The TV host, who was among several protesters demanding justice for Busola Dakolo, claimed Pastor Fatoyinbo is for now a rapist until facts state otherwise.

He made this known on his Instagram page on Monday.

DAILY POST recalls that Busola, wife of singer Timi Dakolo, had revealed how the COZA pastor raped her when she was a teenager.

“After watching @busoladakolo account, I believed her 100%. But I was advocating for proper procedures of getting justice on this matter because of reasons best known to me.

“Again, I was still in shock too. I admit, I still am in shock. I’m also not a fan of jungle justice or court of pubic opinion because I suffered it in secondary school wrongfully.

“But after the behavior of the church organisation today on this matter, not just the pastor, there is no need.

“It is shameful for me to call myself a member of that church. A friend said to me “his moves are like that of Pablo Escobar”. I couldn’t help but agree.

“It has taken me time, but I am finally here.

“We will say it for what it is. Until facts state otherwise, Pastor @biodunfatoyinbo is a rapist.

“There is a syndicate around him that protects him, and this involves Pastor Flo of Lagos Church, Pastor Wole of PH parish, church staff, other ministers and I dare say, his wife.

“I am no longer a member of that church. I call on every one who has a conscience to boycott @cozaglobal.

“Thank you to every Nigerian fighting. Thank you to every celebrity using their voice.

” You understand that your influence is not for you. Thank you. I drew strength from your voice.

“We continue to pray for him that God will touch his heart to own up to his crimes and the light of God to expose everyone involved in the syndicate.

“I stand with Busola Dakolo, I stand with every woman who has been raped. I stand against rape and rape culture. I stand against the rot in the church. @timidakolo I am 100% with you. #istandwithbusoladakolo

“I rest my case on this matter now.

“Let the place scatter!!,” he wrote.
