Pastor Love Hamond

In 2024, Pastor Love Hammond, the former husband of gospel singer Obaapa Christy, was imprisoned in Nsawam Medium Security Prison following a car deal gone wrong.

The case stems from a 2016 agreement between Pastor Love and Samuel Amanwah, the complainant who imported a Toyota Highlander into Ghana. In October 2024, the church leader was found guilty of theft, misappropriation, and dishonesty, influencing the court to slap them with a four-year jail sentence.

Adom Kyei Duah

The founder of the Believers Worship Centre dominated the headlines this year for several reasons, including a fierce disagreement with the Chsitan Council and an unfulfilled prophecy about the New Patriotic Party's presidential candidate, Dr Mahmud Bawumia.

Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako's name gained significant attention in the media after a reckless driving accident involving his 16-year-old son at East Legon.

After several court appearances, Salifu Amoako's son was sentenced to six months at the Senior Correctional Center.

His parents were fined 500 penalty units (6000) for failing to supervise their son.
