Synagogue: Court finally Approves appointment of TB Joshua’s wife, Evelyn Joshua As SCOAN Trustee

• Evelyn Joshua, the wife of the late general overseer of Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), is now a trustee of the church
• A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos made the declaration on Thursday, September 9, that Evelyn should be included in the church’s board of trustee
• Some concerned members of the church had filed a suit on behalf of all the members of SCOAN against the inclusion of Evelyn

Ikeja, Lagos – Weeks after the death of her husband, a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has approved the appointment of Evelyn Joshua as a trustee of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN).

In a statement sent to us, Justice Tijjani Ringim gave the approval on Thursday, September 9, while ruling on a petition by some concerned members of the church, especially Kola Kareem and Moji Oguntoyinbo, who filed for themselves and on behalf of all the members of SCOAN.

The petitioners argued that the two surviving members of the Board of Trustees lacked the legal capacity to make the decisions necessary to move the Church forward, as the Constitution of the Church provides for a minimum of three members on the Board of Trustees.

They instituted the suit against the Incorporated Trustees of the Synagogue Church of All Nations; the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and Mrs Evelyn Onyisi Joshua in a Suit with the number: FHC/L/CP/1109/2021.

The petitioners were represented in court by Emeka Ekweozor while Ossazu Owie represented first and second Respondents; and O.N Chukwu appeared for the CAC.

All the respondents through their lawyers informed the court that they were not opposed to the petition filed under Section 839 (6) (B) of the Companies and Allied matters Act (CAMA) 2020 (as Amended).

The church has been in limbo since the passing of Prophet TB Joshua over the leadership succession in the church.
