Speaking on some of the events that occurred during the trial, grandma of one of the deceased Justine Agbenu, claimed that Bishop Salifu Amoako attempted to pervert justice.
She noted that he brought in six lawyers to rescue his son and family from the law but due to enough evidence gathered by the prosecutor, justice was served.
The grandmother of the deceased further noted that BishopAmoako claimed his son was suffering from depression, hence, his actions that led to the demise of their beloved. In her opinion, this was not a justification for the teen's actions.
Additionally, she questioned the credibility of Salifu Amoako as a pastor following some utterances he previously made, especially his claim that he drives without a licence. She noted that a good pastor would not conduct himself in a lawless manner.
