Late Tega Apochi’s husband, Rhema Akpofure, has clarified that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo is not associated with his wife’s death.
Recall it was that a former member of the popular church, Commonwealth Of Zion Assembly, Nnenna Kalu-Ude, has called out the founder of the church, Biodun Fatoyinbo in the death of her pregnant friend, Tega Apochi who was also a choir member in the church.
In reaction to this, Tega’s husband wrote:
“Hello everyone. Good Evening, my name is Rhema Akpofure, husband of the late Tega. I was shocked when I turned on my phone and got a lot of texts from different people.
“My wife was a beautiful soul, an amazing person, and her Pastors were good to her and to me. Yes, she was a member of the Gratitude and she served in COZA, Abuja.
“My wife had no plans of leaving COZA. In fact, I just relocated to Abuja to join her.
“There were other better plans, so please, I want to beg you to ignore everything you see online. The man called Biodun Fatoyinbo is a good man and every other name that was tagged there are beautiful souls.
“Whatever encounter you might have had with anybody, it’s your own cup of tea and choice, but please take the name Tega out of this. I mean, it’s too early.”
In 2019, Busola – the wife of popular musician, Timi Dakolo accused Fatoyinbo of raping her twice, before she turned 18 which triggered Nigeria’s #MeToo moment which went viral on social media.
Fatoyinbo had been enmeshed in other (sexual) scandals before this recent allegation.
As of press time, neither the church nor the founder, Fatoyinbo, is yet to issue an official statement on this latest scandal.
