The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has reacted to the rape allegation levelled against COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo by Busola, wife of soul singer, Timi Dakolo.

The reaction comes after the social media backlash that followed Busola’s revelation, with many Nigerians calling on the body to take a stand on the matter. Some asked CAN to sanction the pastor.

In an interview with New Telegraph, the Special Assistant on Media and Communications to CAN President, Supo Ayokunle, Pastor Oladeji Adebayo, said the Christian body does not regulate how pastors operate their churches.

“I am sorry CAN does not intervene in how churches are running.

Churches belong to denominations and these are the two bodies that regulate how pastors run their ministries, not CAN.

CAN deals with intrareligious matters and stands between the church and the government,” he said. (Agency report)
