From a report by Church Gist, The Winners Chapel which was founded by Bishop David Oyedepo has recovered its headquarters in Accra, the capital of Ghana after 16 years of battle for ownership in court with Bishop George Adjeman.
Bishop George Adjeman previously took over the Accra headquarters in 2004, now what we have in front of us suggests that George Adjeman has been ordered by the court to render account to his former employers and return the building and all its appurtenances to Bishop David Oyedepo.
“According to the Judgment delivered on 30th November 2020, all properties in possession of Winners’ Chapel, (led by Bishop Adjeman) Ghana to be returned to the Church (Oyedepo led Winners Chapel International-WCI)

“WCI is also to have exclusive use of the name of Winners Chapel.
“Additionally, the Registrar General is to delete Adjeman’s name from the Register of Companies while Adjeman is to account to WCI for the use of any of its properties from 2004 to date and pay any amounts due to WCI with interest. To God be all the Glory.
The retrieved property is located at 16 Otublohum Road, Industrial Area, East Legon, Accra.
The case was conducted by Thaddeus Sory and Pst Nii Amassah Kotey who died on to glory a few days before judgment was given.
The High Court had given judgment in favor of Bishop George Adjeman led group in 2017.
The court presided over by Mr. Justice K.A. Ofori-Atta, held that WCI, headed by Bishop David Oyedepo, was not duly registered in Ghana, as prescribed by the Companies Act, 1963 (Act 179) and, and therefore, it had no legal basis to operate a church or any other business in Ghana.
The court concluded, “that all the acts purported to have been done by the plaintiff in breach of sections 27, 196 and 197 are illegal and invalid.”
It, however, held that WCG, headed by Bishop George Adjeman, had been registered in accordance with the law and, therefore, had the legal backing to operate.
Winners Chapel however believed that the battle is not over yet, as it expects Bishop Adjeman to appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Ghana.
