The religious body further said that the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has commenced an investigation into the rape allegation and in no less than two weeks the outcome of the investigation will be revealed.

“The attention of the president of CAN, Rev Dr. Samson OA Ayokunle has been called to a report and a video clip going round that Christian Association of Nigeria has sent her officials to Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) church.

“This message is to categorically inform the Christian leaders, the general public and all lovers of truth that CAN or the President of CAN did not approve and knows nothing about such a solidarity visit.

“Those who did so did it on their own.

“We stand by our earlier release on the issue while we would never support any act of immorality from whatever quarter, we would not jump into passing judgement without thorough investigation of the matter”, the statement reads in part.

 

 

Reacting to the statement Timi Dakolo wrote: “The truth always wins.”
