Ghanaian gospel artist Abena Serwaa Ophelia has shared her shock and sorrow over the tragic accident involving Archbishop Salifu Amoako’s son, which resulted in the loss of two lives at East Legon.
Speaking to Kingdom FM, Abena Serwaa expressed her deep emotions regarding the incident, highlighting the significant role the Archbishop has played in supporting her music ministry.
“Archbishop Salifu Amoako was the one who made our ministry stronger and bigger. When I heard about the accident, I broke down. I couldn’t sleep for three days; I had a headache. I kept wondering, if it were me in that position, what would I do?” she said.
She sympathised with the parents, acknowledging the difficulties they now face due to their son’s actions.
“The boy has brought problems to his parents. I felt sorry for them. People will question why he couldn’t train his children properly, all because of a stubborn son who chose not to listen.”
“I’m pretty sure his parents were unaware of the speed at which he was driving their cars. Even during the incident, I’m sure they didn’t know he had taken the keys to move the car,” she added.
Amid tears, Abena Serwaa expressed her grief over the situation, saying, “It’s very difficult to say let’s leave the matter to God, but that’s all I can do. I can’t imagine what he and his wife are going through. Even the boy, I can’t fathom what is going on in his mind.”
She further pleaded for divine intervention for the families affected, stating, “I can only ask God to watch over the parents of the victims.”
The Accra High Court has granted bail of ¢50,000 each to Bishop Salifu Amoako and his wife, Mouha Amoako, following their arrest on October 15.
The couple faces charges for permitting their underage son, Elrad Amoako, to drive, which resulted in the fatal accident in East Legon.
A third individual, Linda Bempah, who handed Elrad the car keys, was also granted bail.
