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.
