<\/p>\nOne of such is Pastor Yemi Davids, the General Overseer of Global Impact Church in Lagos, where Busola worshipped before she got married to singer Timi Dakolo.<\/p>\n
Davids took to his Twitter feed, to admit that he has \u201cbeen privy to some of the personal struggles she has had over the years, based on the details from her interview.\u201d<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201cI feel the need to do this especially as a husband, father and a pastor.<\/p>\n
\u201cBusola got married from our church to @timidakolo, and as a friend to the family, I\u2019ve been privy to some of the personal struggles she has had over the years, based on the details from her interview. This is her truth & it should be honored.<\/p>\n
\u201cI commend her for her bravery and I pray this helps her healing process. I also noticed that there was a denial of the allegation. It is important that the truth comes out.<\/p>\n
\u201cRape is a serious offense & it is unacceptable. A process that unveils the truth in this hurtful situation in the Body must begin immediately. We leaders MUST be accountable & I support a process at arriving at Justice, Healing & Resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pastor Godman Akinlabi, the Senior Pastor of Elevation Church, also tweeted: \u201cIt is heart breaking to read and watch the various stories of rape and sexual misconduct that have permeated the Nigerian media in the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery claimant & aggrieved person deserves our collective support to find justice, healing, wholeness and the strength to move on victim shaming should not be part of our response. Allegations of rape, especially against people in positions of authority & high visibility should not be trivialised but dealt with swiftly & decisively both legally & within d ambits of corporate governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI encourage everyone who needs healing & support for finding wholeness to reach out for help. It\u2019s the role of professional therapists & religious organizations not only to provide therapy but also support the quest for justice for the injured, oppressed and aggrieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is what Jesus will do. Speak for the oppressed, bind up d injured, rebuke the erring & restore the lost. Just like Isaiah 58:6 says, \u201cRemove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free.\u201d<\/p>\n
This comes after The Senior Pastor of This Present House Church, Tony Rapu, has shared his views on sexual abuse in a lengthy write-up on his personal website. <\/p>\n
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Saturday night, said it has opened an in-house investigation of the rape allegations.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
