“The system sentences guilty people every day. As we are speaking, now someone has shot another person. So if you kill my child, the system must deal with the person. It is not about me. It is the law. The person must be imprisoned.”

The video has since been shared by several people on social media to call for justice for the two young ladies who died in a car accident after the pastor’s son hit their car from behind.

On October 12, 2024, a road accident involved Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako’s son. This has led to charges being filed against the pastor and his wife for allowing an unlicensed person to drive.

Video of the accident showed that the 16-year-old was speeding before crashing into the back of the other vehicle involved in the incident.
