The Ho High Court has sent a strong signal to persons who have the penchant for flouting court orders that they are not above the law.
In one of such instances, the Leader and General Overseer of the Glory Redeemed Ministry International, Samuel Addae, has been sentenced to 14 days imprisonment with hard labour for contempt of court.
Pastor Addae, who was convicted and sentenced yesterday, February 10, 2014 by the court, has his church at Taviefe-Avenya, a few minutes’ drive from Ho.
According to the facts as presented in the court presided over by His Lordship Charles Agbovor, Pastor Addae was said to have violated a court order restraining him and his members from using a disputed premises.
The said location was in contention between his church and another church, the Glory Renewal Ministry at the same area.
The presiding High Court judge, in handing the sentence, stressed that the court was setting an example to all those who disobeyed such injunctions. He was hopeful that many would learn and treat court orders sacred.
