Police picks up Bishop Salifu Amoako and wife for investigations after 16-year-old son kills two people

Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako and Mouha Amoako, parents of the suspect driver, Elrad Salifu Amoako, who was involved in the fatal accident on Saturday that resulted in the loss of two lives are currently in police custody for investigations.

According to the police, investigations have so far established that on 12 October 2024, Elrad Salifu Amoako, aged 16, driving a Jaguar SUV vehicle with registration number GN 7801 – 20 with one other occupant, rammed into a 4×4 Acura vehicle also with registration number GR 2542 – 23, driven by Joseph Ackah with four other occupants, at Mensah Wood Street at East Legon.

The parents of the 16-year-old boy are in trouble for failling to prevent their son from driving. The laws of Ghana permits individuals 18 years and older to drive so they have a lot to answer for allowing the boy to drive.

The devastating accident has left Ghanaians wondering why a 16-year-old could drive so carelessly.
