Eniola Akinkuotu,  Abuja

Workers at Commonwealth of Zion Assembly in Guzape, Abuja, have seized over 100 jotters from worshippers, The PUNCH reports.

Our correspondent, who is currently at the scene,  observed at least 100 jotters that had been confiscated and placed on a car at the entrance.

The PUNCH reports that although security officials are usually deployed in the church every Sunday, the number of operatives today is another higher than usual.

About five men wearing gloves frisked congregants at the entrance and questioned those found suspicious.

The deployment of security operatives may not be unconnected with threats by several rights groups to protest at the church following allegations of rape levelled against COZA senior pastor, Abiodun Fatoyinbo.

Mrs. Busola Dakolo, the wife of popular musician, Timi Dakolo, had on Friday accused Fatoyinbo of raping her 20 years ago.

The allegation caused a storm over the weekend with groups calling for the arrest of Fatoyinbo while some of his supporters have stayed by his side.

The COZA founder has, however, denied all the allegations levelled against him.
