Pastor Love jailed for 4 years

After a seven-year legal battle, popular Ghanaian pastor, Hammond Love, commonly known as Pastor Love, has been sentenced to 48 months in prison with hard labour for theft.

The ruling was handed down by the Accra Circuit Court after Pastor Love, the ex-husband of gospel singer Obaapa Christie, was found guilty of stealing a vehicle entrusted to him.

Before the sentence was pronounced, Pastor Love pleaded with the court for leniency.

He expressed willingness to pay any fine the court would impose rather than face imprisonment.

Despite his appeal, the presiding judge, Isaac Addo, emphasized that as a pastor, Pastor Love was expected to uphold a higher standard of integrity, particularly in matters involving trust.

As a first-time offender, the court considered his plea but determined that a prison sentence was necessary to serve as a deterrent.

According to Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Frimpong, the incident dates back to 2016, when Samuel Amankwah, a resident of the United States, shipped a 4×4 vehicle to Ghana.

He tasked Pastor Love with clearing the vehicle from the port, agreeing that the pastor could sell it for USD 50,000 and deduct the clearing costs from the sale.

However, Amankwah later decided to hold off on the sale, intending to return to Ghana and personally refund Pastor Love’s clearing expenses.

In April 2017, when Amankwah returned to Ghana, he contacted Pastor Love to retrieve his vehicle.

Despite multiple demands, Pastor Love was unable to produce the car.

Growing frustrated, Amankwah filed a complaint with the police, leading to Pastor Love’s arrest in May 2017.

During police interrogations, Pastor Love explained that he had borrowed GHS 40,000, with a 20 percent interest rate, to cover the vehicle’s clearing costs.

He claimed that the accumulating interest forced him to sell the vehicle for GHS 80,000 without the owner’s consent.

Out of this amount, Pastor Love allegedly paid GHS 70,000 to the loan company.

However, Pastor Love could neither provide the identity of the buyer nor direct the police to the loan company to verify his claim.

The judge concluded that Pastor Love’s account lacked credibility and that his failure to produce substantial evidence pointed to dishonesty throughout the trial.

Amerado finally reveals why he declined Barima Sidney’s feature request

Award-winning Ghanaian artist Amerado, born Derrick Sarfo Kantanka has recently discussed why he declined to feature on a song by legendary singer Barima Sidney.

In an interview on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, Amerado explained that inspiration plays a crucial role in his decision to collaborate on tracks.

He shared that although he liked the song Barima Sidney sent him, he felt it wasn’t one he could deliver well.

“Barima Sidney sent me a song, I loved it. I spoke with my team that I thought the song was not one that I could really deliver well on, so I requested for a remix of one of his monster hits, but that couldn’t happen too,” he shared.

The ‘Kweku Ananse’ singer further emphasized that he prefers not to take on features when inspiration is missing. He noted that he quickly worked on a remix for Joyce Blessing’s newly released “Overdo” because he could vibe with it.

He also expressed respect for Barima Sidney, stating, “I’ve seen a couple of interviews that the legendary Barima Sidney has been talking about the fact that I ignored a feature.

He should take it easy on me because who wouldn’t want to work with Sidney, but some time maybe we will work on a song that I can really deliver on.”

We will never play Shatta Wale’s song on our station – Abena Moet

Neat FM entertainment presenter Abena Moet has turned down efforts by his colleague Ola Michael to play a song from Shatta Wale.

It all started when a listener called into the station and requested that they play him a Shatta Wale song which Ola Michael agreed to play.

But Abena Moet kicked against it stating that she was not going to allow that to happen because Shatta Wale had disrespected their boss Osei Kwame Despite and as such, his songs cannot be played on their station.

She said: “He (Ola) is not the only one who can forgive; all of us have not forgiven him. So, I don’t know how he will play the song; maybe he will play it in his car after closing from here. No, you can’t insult the owner of the station and expect us to play your song here… He should build his own station and play it there.”

Shatta Wale unleashed a stinging assault on Akwasi Aboagye and the proprietors of Despite Media in October 2023, after the presenter (Aboagye) questioned the artist’s assertion that he was paid 80,000 pounds to appear at the Ghana Music Awards UK 2023 as fake.

Since his outbursts and use of unprintable terms against the founders and employees of Despite Media, the musician has been blacklisted from the site.

Mentioning that citizens of Burkina Faso have been clearing their goods from Ghana due to the unavailability of a Harbour in the country, Kwaku Manu averred duty in Burkina is cheaper than in Ghana.

He stressed that this $30,000 duty would have been $10,000 or $5,000 in Burkina Faso and Togo.

Kwaku Manu pleaded with Ghanaian authorities to do something on this issue, adding that it contributes to high pricing in the country since Ghana imports almost everything.
