    Pastor Love Hammond, the head pastor of Action Grace Chapel International, has been sentenced to 48 months of hard labor following a conviction for theft. This outcome concludes a lengthy seven-year legal battle that has captured public attention.

    Hammond, previously married to prominent Ghanaian gospel singer Obaapa Christy, faced the court after a series of events that began in 2016. According to legal documents, Samuel Amankwah, a U.S. resident, entrusted Pastor Love with the task of clearing a 4×4 vehicle he had shipped to Ghana. Initially, Pastor Love covered the clearance costs himself, with Amankwah directing him to sell the vehicle for $50,000 and retain the duty costs.

    However, when Amankwah returned to Ghana in April 2017, he discovered that the vehicle was missing, despite multiple requests for its status. This prompted Amankwah to file a police report, leading to Pastor Love’s arrest in May 2017.

    During the proceedings, Pastor Love argued that he had taken a loan of GH¢40,000 at 20 percent interest to clear the vehicle and subsequently sold it for GH¢80,000 without Amankwah’s approval to settle the loan. However, he was unable to provide evidence supporting his claims regarding the loan or the sale.

    Judge Isaac Addo, who presided over the case, acknowledged Pastor Love’s status as a first-time offender but underscored the expectation of integrity for someone in his position. The judge concluded that the 48-month sentence was warranted not only as punishment but also as a deterrent to others.

    Before sentencing, Pastor Love expressed remorse and sought leniency, indicating his willingness to pay any imposed fines. Nevertheless, the court’s decision highlights the importance of accountability, especially for public figures in positions of trust.

    “Gospel artists are not angels; stop criticising them” – Obaapa Christy

    Well-known gospel performer from Ghana, Christiana Twene, better known by her stage name Obaapa Christy, has advised Ghanaians to pray for gospel musicians instead of harshly criticising them when they err.

    She asserts that gospel musicians who use music to preach the word of God are not infallible and that they are just like everyone else in that they are human.

    On Monday, January 29, 2024, the music diva stated in an exclusive interview with Graphic Showbiz that criticising gospel artists when they make mistakes is not the wisest course of action.

    “There is no need saying all sorts of things to dampen their spirits. I sometimes hear not too good comments about gospel musicians when their issues come up and they can be very disheartening.

    “Inasmuch as we are gospel musicians, we are mere mortals and we are bound to make mistakes too. Some media persons and Ghanaians dwell on the negatives instead of focusing on the positives. What is the point in rejoicing over someone’s downfall?” she questioned.

    The hitmaker of “Hyebre Sesafo” took advantage of the occasion to counsel her peers to value themselves in order to receive compensation commensurate with that of their secular counterparts, who are rumoured to negotiate better terms with event organisers.

    “I always tell people that if you value yourself, no event planner will give you whatever they want—instead, they will pay you what you are entitled to when they hire you to perform. I have been doing this for more than 20 years, accepting any payment at all. She remarked, “I am paid what I am entitled to because I am deserving of it.
