A High Court in Tema has ordered the interim preservation of several properties belonging to Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi and his wife, Gloria Kobi, pending the final determination of a legal dispute believed to be linked to their marriage.
The order, issued by the High Court in Tema on May 18, 2026, follows an application filed by Gloria Kobi seeking protection over what she described as joint matrimonial properties acquired during their marriage.
Court documents sighted by GhanaWeb show that the application was filed on May 7, 2026, under “Order for Interim Preservation of Joint Matrimonial Properties” pursuant to “Order 25 Rule 2(1) of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules, 2004, C.I. 47.”
The suit lists Gloria Kobi as the petitioner/applicant and Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi as the respondent.
According to the court order, the application was granted after the court considered the affidavit filed by Gloria Kobi and noted that “there being no affidavit in opposition on record.”
The document further stated that the court heard submissions from Irene Aborchie-Nyahe, counsel for the petitioner, before granting the request.
“IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Motion on Notice for an Order for Interim Preservation of Joint Matrimonial Properties be and is hereby granted, pursuant to order 25 rule 2(1) of CI 47,” the ruling stated.
The properties affected by the court order include land and buildings associated with the Glorious Wave Church International, the couple’s matrimonial home at Sakumono, four houses, two self-contained houses, a five-bedroom house at East Legon, interests in a partnership oil company, and “several vehicles and other assets acquired during the marriage.”
The court directed that all the listed properties “be and are hereby preserved pending the final determination of this suit.”
The development has sparked public attention, given Prophet Badu Kobi’s prominence as the founder of Glorious Wave Church International and his influence within Ghana’s religious landscape.
While the exact details of the substantive case remain unclear, the court’s decision effectively prevents the disposal or transfer of the listed assets until the matter is fully resolved.
The order was signed by the registrar of the High Court in Tema and issued under the seal of the Judicial Service of Ghana.
