Benny Ark, the Coolfm Abuja OAP who married Ese
Walter, the young lady who exposed her affair with Pastor Biodun
Fatoyinbo of COZA ministries in 2013, says her forthrightness to
speak out about her affair with the married clergyman endeared her to
him. What Benny told
Sunday Sun below...
"Amazingly, the people around us were supportive and understanding. It
was some outsiders who were not privy to a whole lot of stuff that were
making some kind of remarks. But the truth is, we were just friends when
she told me about what happened. I was pained and hurt because here was
a man who I held in high esteem. I only told her to do what she had to
do because she felt like she was enslaved by something she didn’t have
control over. And when she tried to reach out for disclosure that would
have led to her healing, she was treated badly by some people who sent
the message that some person is untouchable. I can tell you that she
reached out not once or twice. Continue..
In the end, she did what she did for her
peace of mind and to encourage others who are in a similar situation.
She opened up not because she is the boldest person; she knew that she
was taking a big risk. But she opened up because she is someone who has a
conscience and will not stand for something wrong. Her making that bold
move endeared her to me. When she came out with the truth, I believed
her, having heard the same story two or three times from other women.
When she spoke out, she was attacked. But I believe that with her simple
act of speaking the truth, she not only liberated herself but also
other women in a similar situation" he said
