Ajagurajah argued that it was unfair for the public to criticise the bishop's parenting, stressing that such accidents could happen to anyone, regardless of how well a child is raised.

On October 12, 2024, Elrad crashed a Jaguar SUV into an Acura, causing a fire that killed 12-year-olds Maame Dwomoh Boateng and Justine Agbenu.

Following the crash, Bishop Amoako, his wife Mouha, and a family friend, Linda Bempah Bonsu, were arrested and charged with permitting an unlicensed person to drive. They were later granted bail.

Many Ghanaians have expressed anger, calling for the bishop and his wife to be held accountable for allowing their underage son to drive.

However, Ajagurajah believes the situation is more complex. He pointed out that some children are naturally difficult to control, and their actions do not always reflect their upbringing.
