Ikoyi, Lagos – February 12, 2025 – Tensions soared at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi as the long-standing legal battle between the registered Board of Trustees (BOT) and the Church’s Pastor (BOT vs. Pastor) reached a critical turning point. The court has officially set May 7, 2025, as the date for its highly anticipated ruling on the controversial dissolution of the legally recognized board.
The hearing on February 12, 2025, unfolded with high drama, as the lead counsel for the Pastor was noticeably absent. Despite this, Justice Musa Kakaki, who took over the case following the reassignment of Justice Peter O. Lifu to Abuja, wasted no time in driving proceedings forward. In a decisive move, the Judge struck out a last-minute reconciliation proposal from the Pastor’s legal team, citing repeated failed attempts at resolution. Justice Kakaki affirmed that his predecessor had meticulously documented the case, allowing for a clear and fair judgment process.
Behind the Scenes: Internal Conflicts and Silence from Church Leadership
While the congregation remains eager for transparency, church officials have yet to fully disclose the details of previous reconciliation efforts. The PIC Secretaries, who issued a case reminder on February 11, 2025, have failed to inform the congregation about the outcomes of past mediation efforts led by Justice Ajakaiye (Rtd) at the Pastor’s request. Despite assurances of further dialogue with the Pastor following a crucial meeting on August 21, 2020, no substantial updates have been provided regarding a subsequent resolution meeting on May 8, 2022, at CCC Ogudu Parish, Lagos.
Adding to the controversy, while WhatsApp messages circulated widely on social media about the case, not a single unregistered BOT member was present in court. Only three PIC members attended the proceedings, raising questions about the true motives behind the ongoing battle. Insiders suggest that certain individuals with financial interests are pressuring the Pastor to prolong the legal fight, prioritizing material gain over the church’s unity.
With the court ruling now set for May 7, 2025, (BOT vs. Pastor) all eyes remain on Justice Kakaki, whose verdict could reshape the church’s leadership structure. Will justice prevail, or will hidden forces continue to manipulate the outcome? The countdown begins.
Stay tuned for updates.
