Ghanaian gospel musician Abena Serwaa Ophelia has expressed shock following the tragic accident involving Archbishop Salifu Amoako's son, which claimed two lives at East Legon.

In an interview with Kingdom FM, Abena Serwaa stated that the Archbishop has been instrumental in supporting her ministry while sharing an emotional response to the incident.

"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."

Meanwhile, the High Court in Accra has granted bail of ¢50,000 each to Bishop Salifu Amoako and his wife, Mouha Amoako, following their arrest on October 15.

They were charged with allowing their minor son, Elrad Amoako, to drive, which led to the fatal crash in East Legon. A third accused, Linda Bempah, who provided Elrad with the car keys, was also granted bail.
