According to the portal, the said case sought to challenge Opanyin Adusei’s legitimacy over ownership of the church. The plaintiffs therefore prayed the Court to cease the defendant from using the church's name for religious and spiritual activities.

This then sparked a legal tussle over the incorporation of the Saviour Church of Ghana as a limited liability company.

But the Supreme Court presided by five Judges in a 3-2 decision ruled in favor of Opanyin Adusei indicating he alone had the legal authorization to operate with the name of the church.

The matter was then moved to the Superior Court of Judicature for a final determination.
