The Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) has dissociated itself from the visit by some notable leaders within its fold to the Common Wealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).

The pastors, led by the Northcentral Chairman of CAN, Revd. Israel Akanji, visited COZA church in Abuja and promised its embattled Founder and Senior Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, who is accused of rape by Busola Dakolo, wife to Nigeria popular artiste, Timi Dakolo, that the Christian body will stand by him.

However, a statement signed on Tuesday by CAN’s National

He said CAN did not approve the purported visit.

The statement reads in part, “Those who did so did it on their own. We stand by our earlier release on this issue that while we would never support any act of immorality from whatever quarter.

“We can tell you PFN has constituted a panel investigating the matter, and in less than two weeks, the outcome of the investigation will come out.

“We urge all Christian brothers and sisters to know that this is the position of CAN.

“We would not spare anyone found wanting from facing appropriate disciplinary actions.” (DP)
