Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory


The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court.


The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors.


In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court struck out the writ challenging Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah’s leadership. The court declared the writ a nullity, stating that the plaintiffs lacked the capacity to sue in the name of the African Faith Tabernacle Church.


Quoting the court's judgment, Prophet Nkansah read:

"From the foregoing, I find the writ issued in this action as a nullity and consequently incompetent. This court therefore lacks the jurisdiction to entertain this suit. It will serve no judicial purpose to go into the merits of the case. The writ and all other processes consequent upon same are incompetent and are accordingly hereby struck out."


Expressing gratitude, Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah thanked members, elders, pastors, and their legal counsel, Professor Kwame Gyan, for their unwavering support through prayers and financial contributions.


In a gesture of reconciliation, he extended an olive branch to those who opposed his leadership, urging all members to unite under one purpose.

"I will not sack anyone, even those who opposed me. Let us come together as one family to serve God with a united heart," he stated.


The Superior Prophet reaffirmed his commitment to fostering unity within the African Faith Tabernacle Church and continuing its mission of spreading faith and service.

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
