The adversary of Rev EMF Oshoffa is a persistent individual who has been pressuring the Pastor to continue with court cases at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi and the Appeal Court in Ibadan. Interestingly, this individual is a member of Celestial Church of Christ.
This person has influenced the Pastor to reject the idea of seeking peaceful co-existence within the Church, instead urging him to pursue legal action. When appearing in court, he presents himself as a supporter of Celestial Church of Christ, claiming that the registered Board of Trustees members are working towards establishing a church where members can worship independently, with M/S/E Banjo as the (Asiwuju) leader in the Church.
