That was murder, manslaughter, it was highly intentional.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Citing the case of the devastating helicopter crash that claimed the lives of American basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter, he described the impact the incident would have on the families involved. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a high possibility that the parents of these children will not be the same again. It will mess them up to the extent that they will not be able to recover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this case, the parents were not even there to offer solace to the children. Can you imagine such a scenario?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Following the accident, Bishop Salifu Amoako and his wife, Mouha Amoako, were arrested on October 15 and were later granted bail of \u00a250,000 each.<\/p>\n<p>A video of Salifu Amoako apologising to the families of the deceased popped up on social media but was met with mixed reactions.<\/p>\n<p>On October 18, a teary vigil was held at the accident site in memory of the two girls.<\/p>\n<p><b>See the video below:<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">East Legon Incident: Not an Accident, but a Highly Intentional Murder &#8211; Arnold Asamoah Baidoo <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UnitedShowbiz?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UnitedShowbiz<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D139V5RDO9\">pic.twitter.com\/D139V5RDO9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 UTV Ghana (@utvghana) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/utvghana\/status\/1847785520178385087?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>ID\/ ADG<\/p>\n<p> Click here to follow the GhanaWeb Entertainment News WhatsApp channel <\/p>\n<p><b>See the full show below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"R-Wnqcjbu_k\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UNITED SHOWBIZ WITH EMPRESS GIFTY 19\/10\/24\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R-Wnqcjbu_k?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the first episode of GhanaWeb TV\u2019s Ballot Briefing below;<\/b><br \/>&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"2Q15zVFtsBI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Ghana&#039;s Minority Becoming the Majority?***Akua Donkor Threatens Mahama | Ballot Briefing\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Q15zVFtsBI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>play videoEntertainment pundit, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo Entertainment pundit Arnold Asamoah Baidoo has voiced his strong opinions over the ghastly motor accident at East Legon which caused the death of two children.
