Media Personality MC Yaa Yeboah has passionately declared that the tragic East Legon incident, which led to the untimely deaths of two teenagers, was not merely an accident but a deliberate act of recklessness.

During a powerful segment on UTV’s United Showbiz monitored by MyNewsGH.com, she addressed the heartbreaking loss of Justine Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh Baah, who have recently been laid to rest and called for accountability regarding the circumstances that led to their deaths.

“Labeling this as just an accident diminishes the severity of what happened,” Yaa Yeboah stated emphatically. “The reality is that reckless driving is a conscious choice, and we must acknowledge that Elrad Amoako was aware of the risks he was taking.”

Yaa Yeboah did not shy away from addressing archbishop Salifu Amoako’s comments regarding his son, Elrad, who was behind the wheel during the incident.

“It was utterly inappropriate for the Bishop to suggest we should stop discussing his son’s role,” she emphasized. “Two innocent lives were lost, and it is vital we address the real issues surrounding this tragedy.”

She provocatively stated, “If Elrad had used a firearm instead, at least the act would have been seen as intentional. This was reckless driving, plain and simple.”

Her remarks underscored the urgent need to confront the underlying issues contributing to such reckless behavior on the roads.

Drawing from her own childhood experiences, Yaa Yeboah shared, “I’ve witnessed too many near misses. Reckless driving is a disaster waiting to unfold. The videos leading up to the accident showcase just how carelessly Elrad operated that vehicle.”

She highlighted that Elrad, as a minor, knew he was not legally permitted to drive.

“He was well aware that driving is a privilege and not a right,” she asserted. “Speeding is not merely a violation; it’s an imminent threat, especially for someone so young and inexperienced. His parents had a responsibility to step in.”

As the conversation progressed, Yaa Yeboah concluded powerfully: “We cannot brush this off as an unfortunate accident. Elrad understood the risks associated with driving at excessive speeds. This situation transcends a tragic mishap; it embodies a profound failure of responsibility. The repercussions are severe, and it’s time we confront this truth without hesitation.”
