I don’t support the idea of a state’s involvement in building a National Cathedral, but Joyce Aryee mostly stated FACTS, not a lot of effort has been put to objectively critique this “lucrid” affair of church and state- just overused slander and cliche accusations. https://t.co/PegP2AASBj

Looks like Salifu Amoako’s son is one over-pampered spoilt dadaba who die to his father’s connection thinks he could be reckless on the road. He’s in coma now buh yeah he shouldn’t go Scot-free when he recovers! pic.twitter.com/faVfrgpDVc

Who’s salifu amoako?

Look, a father had to travel down from the states immediately he heard the news about his burnt daughter so any foul move on this case won’t hold. Amoako and his household can be above the law when dealing with other people but certainly not this man https://t.co/oR6rp7liWk

From an eye witness, Bishop Salifu Amoako’s son was overly speeding and that caused the East Legon acc!dent. Dear Ghana Police make sure this boy gets the best medical treatment so that we test the law. May the 2 departed souls rest in peace 🤦‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/MGqgiRNRqe

Pray for Prophet Salifu Amoako. It can happen to any man - may the Lord be with you in these times of trouble. Job 1:19-22 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/oXLvYQjngM

This is how Salifu Amoako's son's friend left him in the car right after the accident…

Initially ,I thought the person getting out of the driver's side was Elrad (Salifu Amoako's son) . But since I've learned Elrad is in a coma, it's probably his friend. pic.twitter.com/5moOHDO50S
