The Gweru branch of Nigerian Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Christ Embassy Church, has been taken to court over rental debts and outstanding water bills amounting to $53 000.
According to summons filed at the Bulawayo High Court this week by the property managers, Central Real Estate, the church, also known as Believers Loveworld Incorporated, owes $53 607 in unpaid rentals, water bills and service charges for its rented premises at Alice Centre which is owned by Brainman Investments. The estate agent said the church was supposed to pay $1 632 monthly as rentals, management, sundries, cleaning, rates and water bills as per a 2014 lease agreement.
The estate agents want an order for the eviction of the church from its rented premises. The church is yet to respond to the summons.
