On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, reports emerged that the Minister had been detained by the Ghana Police Service over copyright issues regarding a song believed to be owned by the Church of Pentecost.
In an on-call interview on Radio XYZ, Francis Amo confirmed his arrest and explained the circumstances that led to his apprehension.
According to the singer, about two weeks ago, he made a cover of a song, but unfortunately, he received a notice from the Church of Pentecost stating that the song belonged to them.
In the words of Francis Amo, he was invited by officers from the Accra Central Police Station for questioning; however, upon arrival, he was told, “he was under arrest”. The gospel minister claimed that after hours in police custody, he was granted bail.
According to Francis Amo, the Church of Pentecost has agreed to settle the case amicably at home, given that the case has been withdrawn from the police station.
Speaking about the song involved, the singer stated that he had earlier sung the song titled “Ne Din Ne Jesus” as a form of praise during a program held by the church. However, he had an inner feeling to take it to another level and decided to produce a worship version.

Francis Amo apologises to Church of Pentecost
In a video shared on his official TikTok account, Francis Amo sent a message to all the leaders and members of the Church of Pentecost.
According to him, he was wrong for producing the song and not asking for permission from the authorities.
The singer, who looked emotional, asked the church to forgive him, adding that if he said something offensive during his interview with Radio XYZ, they should pardon him.
"To all church leaders and members, please forgive me. You son, I was wrong. In some part I didn't act right. If I said something out there that didn't sit well with you, I am on my knees; forgive me and let God be glorified. God bless everyone," he said.
