Members of the African Israel Nineveh Church have expressed increasing frustration after yet another postponement of a long standing leadership dispute currently before the High Court.
The case, filed in 2024 and presided over by Justice Omido, had been scheduled for hearing on March 25, 2026. However, it has once again been adjourned marking the second delay and is now set for hearing on June 18, 2026.
The matter was initially expected to be heard in December 2025 but was deferred to March 2026, raising hopes among congregants that a resolution was near.
The latest postponement has, however, intensified dissatisfaction among church members, many of whom say the repeated delays have only extended uncertainty within the institution.
For over fifteen years, the church has been embroiled in leadership wrangles, with rival factions failing to reach consensus on governance and succession.
The ongoing adjournments have heightened concerns among the faithful over the future stability of the church and the slow pace of the legal process.
As the new hearing date approaches, members remain cautiously hopeful that the court will ultimately deliver a conclusive ruling to end the prolonged dispute.
