On Thursday the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria had said that its investigations into the allegations against Fatoyinbo was inconclusive because the preacher refused to appear before it after several invitations.
In response to this, the Senior Assistant to the Biodun, Ademola Adetuberu, released a statement in Abuja yesterday saying that the legal advice was also based on the statement issued by the PFN President, Bishop Felix Omobude, where pastor was publicly disowned.
Adetuberu said: “We recall that when Pastor Fatoyinbo was invited by a phone call few days ago by Pastor Akinola Akinwale who is the National Administrative Secretary of PFN, we explained that our pastor would not honour the invitation due to legal advice hinged on the ongoing police investigation.
“The legal advice was also premised on the press statement issued and personally signed by the PFN President, Bishop Felix Omobude, where our pastor was publicly disowned.
“Based on the foregoing, we are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the PFN was already prejudiced and may not conduct an impartial session.
“According to the report, Rev. Omobude, whom we hold in high esteem, went further to crucify our pastor without seeking to know his side of the story on the matter.
“With all due respect, we consider this a prejudicial position in dispensing justice and fairness.”
“We have also been legally advised to deploy judicial intervention to clear our pastor as soon as possible, and the process has commenced in earnest,” he concluded.
