CHRISTIAN MISSION v. APOSTLE WAYE-ONYINA & ORS

A court adjudicated a dispute between a church entity and opposing parties over ownership and control of properties, vehicles, and financial accounts. After considering the controversy, the court concluded that all disputed properties, vehicles, and assets belong to the Plaintiff church. It ordered the defendants to return the properties and accounts to the church and restrained them from using the churchs properties going forward. This decision establishes the churchs exclusive ownership and control of the contested assets and provides immediate remedial relief to prevent further interference, including mandatory return and injunctive restraint. By recognizing the churchs rights and directing the transfer of management over its accounts and assets, the court resolved the dispute in favor of the church and imposed clear obligations on the defendants not to use or dissipate church assets, ensuring the churchs ability to manage its property without ongoing unauthorized use.
