Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako and Mouha Amoako were fined GH¢6,000 each for the fatal East Legon crash, which killed two young girls. The court ordered the pastor to pay more than GH¢8,000 for damage to a light pole at the scene.
Their 16-year-old son, who was deemed responsible for the crash, has been sentenced to six months in a senior correctional facility after pleading guilty to eight charges, including two counts of manslaughter. He was remanded to the Osu Correctional Centre during the prosecution before being sentenced.
Police discovered that the teenager was speeding in his parents’ Jaguar F-Pace Sport when it collided with a black Acura carrying the victims. According to reports, the boy and a friend drove the Jaguar to A&C Mall, where they met up with others in two SUVs. The three vehicles then formed a convoy, with the accused driving his mother’s vehicle through East Legon.
Prophet Salifu Amoako, his wife Mouha, and Linda Bonsu Prempeh, a sales assistant, were arrested and charged with “permitting an unlicensed person to drive” alongside the teenager. On October 16, 2024, Amoakos and Linda Bonsu Prempeh pleaded not guilty in court. The Accra Circuit Court granted them bail of GH¢50,000 each, with two sureties.
