No more publishing of Amoako's son's photos

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the juvenile court has directed that media outlets should no longer publish Bishop Amoako's son's photos and name.

This is after his father, during one of his appearances, appealed to the court to prevent media houses from publishing his son's images as he is underage.
