Christiana Love - I Aborted The Pregnancy

In a virtual give-and-take exchange between gospel singer Christiana Love and her estranged husband, Pastor Kwaku Love Hammond, the peeved lady has disclosed that a pregnancy which resulted when some armed robbers attacked her home sometime ago, was aborted at a hospital.
She said she went to the hospital to have the pregnancy aborted although Pastor Love, as she narrated her story, sought to interrupt her.
She said at the time the armed robbers struck, her husband was elsewhere with another woman.
“I gathered courage and went out and one of them asked me what work I do and I told him that I sing. They asked me to sing a song and I sang ‘eku yi mentumi nku bra beku mami’. One of the robbers insulted me as a fool and asked who would fight for me.”
When her husband was told about what happened, she said, he insulted her, “You fool, whore. You allowed the armed robber to have sex with you.”
When Pastor Love cut in as she spoke, Christie asked whether he was present during the armed robbery and rape, to which he said rather scornfully, “She is my wife and I know her too well”, as if to say that she easily gave in to the sex demand of the robbers.
“If they had killed me, he would have married again,” she answered.
Speaking about their wedding rings, Christie narrated that her husband rarely put his on unless there was an occasion such as a musical launch or a musical award ceremony.
Christiana recalled how her husband stopped her from inquiring from a certain Mamma whether there was any relationship between them.
“He told me not to ask her but I insisted and went ahead,” she said. “When I did, the lady denied, asking how she could do such a thing to me,” Christie stated.
Upon hearing, perhaps from the lady, that Christie had questioned the former, Pastor Love heaped insults upon her (Christie) and even beat her up.
“Why did you ask her when I told you not to ask, you fool?” Christie said.
“He beat me up and even tore up my dress and in the course of the woes I went through, I had an inspiration for the song ‘Agya waama mebre’, to wit ‘God come to my aid, for I am suffering’.’She lamented about how people were leaving their church because of the promiscuity of her husband and so it dawned on her to counsel him to change his ways.
According to her, she had been responsible for the upkeep of the family, supporting her husband with her savings.
He countered this assertion that after all, she was his wedded wife and both were therefore entitled to their acquisitions.
“I worked hard to get you money to go on your radio programmes. I have never demanded money to buy clothing from you before. I am a hardworking woman. I authorized my producer to give proceeds from my work to him because he is my husband. I have never put my hands in his pockets before,” Christie said.
She went on: “When I was admitted in hospital for a medical procedure, I needed money to pay my bills but discovered that he had emptied my accounts at the bank. When I asked him, he said he had collected the money and that he would refund the amount later. The NPP money (proceeds from the song the party bought off her) has been squandered by him.”
She accused him of using her money to support his promiscuity.
Pastor Love denied depending on her for sustenance, explaining, “It is a joint business. I write the songs and she sings. Is it wrong for us to share what we acquire?”
The singer recalled how one day she was jolted by an intuition to get up and climb upstairs and hide behind a door. She eavesdropped from that vantage position as her husband engaged another woman in an amorous exchange. “I love you so much. I am in a marriage I am not interested in. But for something this marriage should have ended,” she claimed to have heard him telling another woman on the phone.
“I seized the mobile phone from him and flung it down and it disintegrated. I was then five months pregnant,” she said.
“He called Madam Joyce Aryee, a lady I hold in high esteem, and narrated to her how I was crying so much and how that was not good for my condition. She called and counseled me,” Christie added.
Pastor Love, she claimed, raped one of the girls who lived with them in the house “but I cover edit because of our marriage”.
Pastor Love, at this point, cut in and retorted, “It’s all lies. She was engaged in adultery and is seeking favour from Ghanaians. The woman she referred to is another friend. As a result of the interference of my wife’s motherin our marital affairs, I sought to walk out of the marriage at a certain point but for the intervention of a certain woman.”
As regards the girl his wife claimed he had impregnated, he explained, “Pastor Bright is my witness. I told Pastor Omane that when the girl who lived with us, then 14 or so, grew up I would like him to get married to her. I had a dream one night that I had beaten Pastor Omane and so, on the next morning, I asked the pastor whether he was engaged in something unusual in the house in view of the dream I had.”
The girl was then pregnant, he said, and was whisked away from his house whereupon he queried his wife for having her taken away without notifying him.
Christiana claimed the girl said her husband had warned her not to disclose the fact that he impregnated her and that he would kill her if she did.
According to Pastor Love, however, it turned out that it was Pastor Omane who impregnated her and sought to destroy him through such an act.“I did not rape any child living with us. You can call my sister in Germany and ask her,” he said.
Christiana denied being adulterous, explaining that the so-called Nana Yaw in Germany was a man she met barely four months ago and that this could not match the six-month pregnancy they claimed she was carrying.
As to whether he still loved Christiana, Pastor Love said, “Until we meet Nana Yaw, I would not say anything. I should not have married her in the first place but for certain reasons.”
Christie also said that she and her husband’s girlfriend were pregnant at the same time.
Another disclosure she made about her husband was that he helped his girlfriend to collect some jeans for sale but when the girl was not paying back, the supplier of the jeans threatened going to the media to disgrace them.
“I approached the woman and pleaded with her to calm down. I then told him about what had happened. Indeed, a policeman once came to the church over an unpaid amount of money his girlfriend had incurred,” she said.
Her last words were philosophical, perhaps in reaction to her husband’s claim that she was nobody until he met her and made her who she was.
“Yes, I was poor and never thought that I would be what I am today. Pastor Love did not buy me. He knew what he got from the marriage. God is my witness. Pastor Love has failed me. We thank God. May God help both of us. God is our protector. God’s will shall prevail. I can’t judge him but I thought he was a pastor. He thinks he is the source of my progress.”
