The founder shared the official legal suit via a Facebook post on Monday, July 6, 2026.

According to the suit signed by his lawyer, Peter Kwasi Nimo, the television personality allegedly described the cleric as corrupt and a "fake pastor" on air.

The legal counsel stated that these words were entirely untrue and unfair to the preacher's reputation.

"Our client says you used your television, ATV, to defame him a day or two ago. You described him as corrupt and also a fake pastor and that the words used are untrue, unfair and injurious to his hard-won reputation," the statement signed by Peter Kwasi Nimo of Dosoo, Obeng-Ntim & Associates noted.

Prophet Nigel Gaisie drops GH¢10m Kumchacha lawsuit

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that following days of public tension, the founder of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, withdrew his GH¢10 million lawsuit against Evangelist Kumchacha, but only under a strict condition.

The two popular and outspoken religious figures have been at the centre of a public dispute on social media after Nigel Gaisie accused Kumchacha of making defamatory statements against him and his brand.

This led to the filing of a GH¢10m suit in court, marking one of the most high-profile legal confrontations between two figures in Ghana's prophetic ministry space in recent memory.
