How Did Salifu Amoako Defend His Son After the East Legon Crash?

Entertainment critic Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo, speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz on October 19th, said that the tragic East Legon accident was not just a simple mistake but caused by negligence. He believes the incident, which led to the deaths of two young women, should be treated as manslaughter, not just an accident.

Arnold blamed the 16-year-old boy involved in the crash, saying it was due to poor parenting. He mentioned that the boy’s parents, Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako and his wife, should be held accountable for what happened.

“It’s unimaginable that two young girls were trapped in a burning car. It’s heartbreaking to think about the pain their parents must be feeling,” Arnold said. “This tragedy will likely change the lives of their parents forever. They weren’t even able to be with their daughters in their final moments to comfort them.”

Grandmother Demands Justice for East Legon Crash Victim

The grandmother of Justine Agbenu, one of the victims of the fatal East Legon car crash on October 12, 2024, is calling for justice. She wants the family of Salifu Amoako, the founder of Alive Chapel International, to face the full force of the law. The crash was caused by 16-year-old Elrad Salifu Amoako, who drove his mother’s car into another vehicle, killing Justine and one other person.

Who Was Justine Agbenu?

Justine Agbenu was a 12-year-old girl who tragically died in the crash. She was the only child of her parents and the only granddaughter of her grandmother. On the day of the accident, Justine was returning from a party with friends when the crash happened.

Grandmother Criticizes the Role of Elrad Amoako

Justine’s grandmother expressed her disappointment in Elrad Amoako’s actions, stating that he should be held responsible. She believes that proper punishment would serve as a warning to others. She feels that although justice won’t bring her granddaughter back, it can help prevent future incidents.

Rejecting Apologies from the Amoako Family

The grandmother mentioned that representatives of the Amoako family had come to apologize, but she refused to accept their apologies. She sent them away because she believes the issue is in the hands of the police and that justice should take its course.

It was also revealed that Justine is related to the late Professor Emmanuel Yaw Benneh, a law lecturer at the University of Ghana who was killed in 2020. This connection adds to the tragedy surrounding Justine’s death.

Elrad Amoako, who caused the accident, is still recovering in the hospital. His parents, Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako and his wife, as well as a sales assistant named Linda Bempah, have been granted bail after being charged in relation to the accident.
