The statement explained that on March 26th 2015, Justice, A. O. Asenuga, of the High Court in Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria, ruled that the self-proclamation of Mr. Godwin Bolanle Shonekan and any other persons, as Pastor of the Church was illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.

However, the BOT said, as a defendant in the case, it has appealed against the Court ruling setting aside all claims to the position of the Pastor of the Church.

Furthermore, the BOT described Senior Evangelist Tosho Oshoffa as the Pastor that never was, claiming he failed in two attempts to impose himself as Pastor of the Church.

“On Wednesday, 10th June, 2015 Senior Evangelist Tosho Oshoffa, attempted to declare himself the new Pastor of Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide. The opportunity to declare himself as pastor in the Holy City of Imeko was never given and he left with his followers.

"On Monday 22nd June, 2015 he renewed his attempt to impose himself as the Pastor of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide I in Adanitan but to no avail again.” a part of statement reads.

The BOT of the Church clarified that:
“The action of Senior Evangelist Tosho Oshoffa did not and does not receive the imagined or real approval and blessing of the Board of Trustees as body corporate acting on behalf of the Church, or the Pastor-in-Council.

“The Board of Trustees not only considers the action of Senior Evangelist I Tosho Oshoffa a rebellion against constituted authority, but especially as an action aimed at causing chaos and disaffection in the Celestial Church of Christ as a whole. The self-declaration directly negates the, High Court ruling and can constitute a contempt of Court.”

Consequently, the Board of Trustees advised all members and parishes to disregard publications, proclamation and directives that may be issued by S/E Tosho Oshoffa and Mr. Godwin Bolanle Shonekan, either by them, agents or privies, as such are unlawful and baseless and an attempt to deceive and/or confuse the unsuspecting members of the public and the Church.
