Echoing a similar experience Deacon Bright Agyemfra a respected member from a reputable church in Kumasi (church name withheld for security reasons) shared how the Kumasi High Court intervened in a sensitive church leadership dispute.
According to Deacon Agyemfra, following the death of the church’s founder his pastor allegedly engaged in a litigation with the church members.
The said pastor overlooked the church constitution and imposed himself as the leader, Deacon Agyemfra stated.
He reiterated that whilst the pastor on the contrary violated the constitution of the church and was further not ready to accept lawful counsel and do the needful the church members resorted to legal action.
The Kumasi High Court subsequently delivered a verdict against the pastor for violating the constitutional mandate of the Church and unlawfully imposing himself as the legitimate pastor.
The pastor has since been expelled from the church Deacon Bright hinted, highlighting the court’s decisive role in upholding the rule of law within a religious institution.
