The troubled Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo, is not a member of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN.
This position was made public by the president of PFN, Dr. Felix Omobude in a statement issued in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
Omobude who expressed sadness over the rape allegations of criminal conduct and serial impropriety made against Pastor Fatoyinbo, argued that it was antithetical to the tenets of Christianity and violent breach of the trust that ought to exist between members of the congregation and a Minister of the Gospel.
Dr. Omobude said, “We strongly condemn this ignoble and bastardy conduct as alleged against Pastor Fatoyinbo.
“Our prayers, thoughts and support are with all those who have fallen victim as have been reported.
“PFN strongly believe in the pursuit of truth and will ensure that truth is unveiled in this whole matter and appropriate sanctions served.
“The PFN hereby warns Pentecostal Pastors who feel they can live carelessly and take undue advantage of their congregants that PFN will not shield anyone who crosses the line.
“The PFN calls on all concerned while expressing their views over this sad issue, to be peaceful and have some respect for the Kingdom.”
