The leadership of Prayer Palace International Church, led by its Founder and Lead Pastor Prophet Emmanuel Adjei, has raised serious concerns over a land ownership dispute involving a Chinese developer who the church alleges has commenced construction on a parcel of land it legally acquired in 2019.
Addressing the media at a press conference on Monday, June 15, Prophet Emmanuel Adjei stated that the land was lawfully purchased from the Numo Kofi Anum Family of Teshie, whom the church recognises as the rightful custodians. According to the church, the family provided all necessary documentation confirming the sale, which was subsequently presented to church leadership. Despite these ownership documents, the church alleges the Chinese developer has entered the property and commenced construction with the authorisation of another individual also laying claim to the land, reportedly backed by persons believed to be land guards.
The church says the matter was reported to the Ghana Police Service and referred to the Property Fraud Unit (PFU) for investigation to determine the rightful owner. All parties were instructed to stay away from the land for one week while investigations were ongoing.
However, the church alleges that construction activities continued during this period despite the directive, a development it says has heightened concerns among members of the congregation. The church has expressed dissatisfaction with what it described as inadequate enforcement measures during the ownership verification process and is appealing for justice and urgent intervention from the relevant authorities.
