The allegations levelled against the Pastor are rather humiliating for his position and certainly not one for a true man of God who should lead by example, as such filthy things as these should not be heard around his corridors; but this is life, and things happen. Guilty or innocent, he knows, Bukola knows as well.

Why he cannot step down.

The law here in Nigeria states that "one is innocent until proven guilty" while in the western world "one is guilty until proven innocent " please let's get this right.

It's imperative that we understand some of these little differences even as we tend to copy everything western. We should let the law take its full course, the idea of taking sides and passing judgments for empathy sake or for whatever reason is not ideal in the real sense. We should learn to have an open mind and always let the law take its course. That is how we can move out of where we are now and into a civilized society.

Please be informed. Mod do your job.

He needs to step down for his own good and for the progress of COZA. The series of allegations against him are overwhelming and have considerable reputational consequences. He also needs to step down because it appears he has a disease - Sex addiction. Hence, he requires time for treatment and therapy to cure himself from this disease. He needs professional help and not prayers for his own good, family, marriage, potential and prospective victims and likewise, COZA. He also needs to step down because he has violated the moral teachings, dogma and principles he believes in.

Stepping down temporarily at this moment is the best decision for COZA and for him too. Probably in his moment of solitude, he would appreciate his grievous and atrocious actions and consider remediation plans to mend his ways. If the elders or leaders of COZA encourage him to stand strong, they are enablers and also putting other young women in harms way.

The law EVERYWHERE is one is innocent until proven guilty.

maybe except in dictatorships or banana republics. But everywhere else, one is innocent until proven guilty. Hence the constant use of the word "allegedly".

The reason why resignations are standard in the west is because in civilized society, one is not supposed to be in a position to influence the investigation into one's self. Either by being in charge of the body that investigates, or simply by remaining in visible position. It is also used as a way of protesting one's innocence.
