Following the crash, Bishop Amoako, his wife, Mouha, and one other, Linda Bempah Bonsu, were arrested and charged with permitting an unlicensed person to drive. The court granted them bail.

Arnold describes East Legon crash as manslaughter
Reacting to the incident and Bishop Amoako's apology on UTV's United Showbiz, Arnold indicated that he was not moved by the apology.
He characterized the East Legon accident as more than a mere mishap and labelled it a case of manslaughter resulting from negligence.
He did not mince words when assigning blame, pointing to what he perceives as a failure in parenting. He specifically called out Bishop Amoako and his wife, suggesting they bear responsibility for the tragic outcome.
"It's hard to imagine that two kids were trapped in the burning car. It's heartbreaking, and you can only think about the pain their parents must be feeling. This tragedy could change their parents forever. They couldn't even be with their children in their last moments to comfort them," he said.
