The resignation of the Founder of Hillsong Church, Brian Houston, over allegations of misconduct has left Nigerians talking.
The co founder of the popular Australian worship centre stepped down from his pastorial duties following the sexual allegations leveled against him.
Two women had filed complaints of indiscriminate behavior against him.
His resignation was revealed in a statement released on the church’s website on Wednesday.
Many netizens hailed the pastor for resigning.
Trust Nigerians to compare his move to that of Nigerian pastors.
Many noted how Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo who was accused of rape by Busola Dakolo, a photographer and wife to singer Timi Dakolo, yet failed to resign.
Refreshing your memory in 2019, Busola accused the founder of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) of raping her on several occasions during her youthful days.
Though the case was later thrown out of court in 2022 following lack of evidence, many noted how the pastor didn’t resign, but only stepped down for a bit during the heat of the scandal.
