The grandmother of Justine Agbenu, one of the two young girls who tragically died in a car accident at East Legon, has called for justice as she shares emotional details about her granddaughter\u2019s life and the incident.<\/p>\n
The grieving grandmother described Justine, her only grandchild, as a loving, caring, and intelligent young girl whose life was cut short in a preventable accident.<\/p>\n
The incident, which occurred on October 12, 2024, involved the 16-year-old son of prominent religious leader Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako. The teenager, who was driving without a license, reportedly lost control of the vehicle, leading to the fatal crash.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Kofi TV, the grandmother expressed deep sorrow and anger over the incident, demanding that the law take its full course to ensure justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy granddaughter did not deserve such a fate,\u201d she lamented. \u201cThe justice won\u2019t bring her back, but it will serve as a deterrent to others. Otherwise, such accidents will keep happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
She recounted how she learned of the incident, explaining that several unanswered calls led her to leave the house, only to find several cars parked outside, confirming her worst fears.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey went to a party, and while returning, the accident happened,\u201d she said, adding that the tragic news had left the entire family devastated.<\/p>\n
Following the public backlash, Bishop Salifu Amoako, founder and leader of Alive Chapel International, issued a public apology.<\/p>\n
In a heartfelt video, the bishop was seen on his knees, pleading with the bereaved families for forgiveness. He acknowledged the gravity of the situation and expressed his shared pain over the loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleading with you to have mercy on me, and may God be your comforter. I am deeply sorry for what has happened, and I cannot even explain myself,\u201d the bishop stated tearfully.<\/p>\n
He called on Ghanaians, as well as his fellow pastors, to join him in seeking forgiveness for the unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n
Bishop Salifu and his wife, Mouha Amoako, have been charged with permitting an unlicensed person to drive and were granted bail of GH\u00a250,000 each.<\/p>\n
A third person, Linda Bempah, who allegedly handed the car keys to the teenager, was also granted bail.<\/p>\n
The bishop has since called for an end to what he described as \u201csensationalizing\u201d the accident, insisting that his son did not intend to harm anyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an accident; my son did not carry a gun to kill anybody. The ongoing public outcry is only adding to our pain. If it had been a motorcycle accident, no one would have made a fuss about it,\u201d he said during a church service on October 20.<\/p>\n
The incident has ignited broader conversations about parental responsibility and road safety in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Many have condemned the actions of the teenager, while others have criticized Bishop Salifu\u2019s response as dismissive of the seriousness of the incident.<\/p>\n
The grandmother of Justine Agbenu emphasized the need for parents to instil a greater sense of responsibility in their children.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one of the things that affect our society. We have spoiled our kids, and now look at the consequences,\u201d she remarked. \u201cThe issue is a police case, and no amount of begging can change that.\u201d she maintained.<\/p>\n
