Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako courted attention after he was spotted at the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service event on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
The star-studded event was held at the auditorium in the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), to thank God for the lives of the people of Ghana and honour the newly sworn-in President John Dramani Mahama and Vice-president Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
Many members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), important celebrities like actress Vivian Jill Lawrence, and the general public attended the event.
High-profile clergy members, Apostle Dr Isaac Owusu-Bempah, Archbishop Duncan Williams, Archbishop Charles Agyin-Asare, Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako and others were also in attendance at the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service, an annual initiative promised by President Mahama.
Bishop Salifu Amoako spotted with police
In a video shared by blogger GH Hyper, Bishop Salifu Amoako made a grand entrance, accompanied by an associate and a police officer, as a security detail.
The founder and general overseer of Alive Chapel International was later spotted exchanging pleasantries and engaging in friendly banter with Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams as he arrived in a luxurious vehicle.
Bishop Salifu's appearance at the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service marked a rare public appearance since his teenage son's involvement in a tragic accident that claimed the lives of two young girls, Justine Agbenu and her friend Maame Dwomoh in East Legon on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
Bishop Salifu Amoako and his wife Mouha Amoako were fined GH¢6,000 each for their son's involvement in the East Legon crash. A Family and Juvenile Court in Accra fined the couple for failing to control their son.
The clergyman's son was sentenced to six months at a Correctional Centre for his role in the accident. This judgement left the families of the victims and numerous Ghanaians upset and unsatisfied with the decision.
Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako's Mercedes-Benz was among five vehicles recently involved in an accident at Tesano-Papaye.
