Leaders of Prayer Palace, a church located at Manet on the Spintex Road in Accra, have appealed to authorities to speed up investigations into a dispute over a piece of land the church says it owns.
According to the church, the land was acquired from the Numo Kofi Family of Teshie, who are said to have provided documents supporting the church’s interest in the property. Church leaders say they have been using the land and regard it as part of their property.
The concern arose after construction activities began on the land by another party also claiming rights to the property. The development has raised questions over ownership and sparked concern among members of the church.
Church officials said the matter was reported to the Ghana Police Service and later referred to the Property Fraud Unit for verification and investigations. They indicated that all parties were advised to stay away from the land while ownership claims were being examined.
However, church leaders say activities on the land have continued, prompting calls for authorities to ensure that due process is followed until investigations are completed.
The dispute has attracted the attention of members of the congregation, many of whom have expressed concern about the future of the property. Church leaders have urged the relevant state institutions to resolve the matter quickly and ensure that peace and order are maintained while investigations continue.
They also called on all parties involved to cooperate with the authorities and allow the legal and administrative processes to take their course.
