Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 13 August 2023. You
requested:
An article states that after an encounter in Auckland with the World Mission
Society Church of God aka Elohim Academy, the police started an
investigation into this group/s. I would like any information regarding this
investigation and any other investigation of both World Mission Society
Church of God and Elohim Academy across the country.
Thank you for providing a link to the article in question:
(https://kforkindling.wordpress.com/2021/09/13/exclusive-former-elohim-academy-cult-
member-speaks-out/)
A search on the Police National Intelligence Application under the name of World Mission
Society of Church of God aka Elohim Academy has returned a negative result. Therefore,
your request is withheld pursuant to section 18(e) of the OIA, as the information
requested does not exist.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Wendy Griffiths
Advisor
