As news of Pastor Love's sentencing reached the headlines, a video showed him being escorted to prison in handcuffs.
The head pastor of Action Grace Chapel, wearing a grey suit, is seen in the middle of two men believed to be police officers.
The two men escorted Pastor Love, whose hands were reportedly cuffed in front of him, to a blue vehicle parked close by.
The video of the arrest was posted on Facebook by Kofi TV:
Pastor Love convicted of stealing $50K vehicle
According to the GBC, the arrest and subsequent conviction stemmed from a 2016 incident in which a man named Samuel Amankwah asked Pastor Love for help shipping a vehicle into Ghana.
When Amankwah arrived in the country the following year, he contacted the preacher, but after several attempts, the car could not be found. The man then lodged a complaint with the police.
It was later determined that Pastor Love had taken out a loan to clear the vehicle and, to avoid accruing further interest, sold the Toyota Highlander for GH¢ 80,000 without seeking the owner's approval.
