About the East Legon accident
On October 12, 2024, Elrad Salifu Amoako attended his sibling Elyon Amoako's birthday party at an event centre in East Legon.
He reportedly requested the keys to his mother’s Jaguar F-Pace Sport from Linda Bonsu Bempah, Amoako's personal assistant. She had been holding the keys for the preacher and is believed to have handed them over.
Assistant State Attorney Ebenezer Yaw Acquah later described the accident, stating that the 16-year-old crashed into the rear of an Acura with enough force to send both cars into a wall opposite the junction.
An electricity pole was toppled and both vehicles caught alight. While Elrad and his passenger managed to escape, the occupants of the Acura were trapped. Bystanders tried to extinguish the flames, but the fire was beyond their control.
