The 16-year-old son of Alive Chapel International’s Founder and General Overseer, Bishop Salifu Amoako, appeared before the Juvenile Court on Friday, November 1, as the court reviewed the terms of his remand and set directives for his custody and care in the case involving the death of two other minors.
The court ordered that the minor remain in remand and return for a follow-up hearing on November 7.
To meet bail requirements, the court mandated that Elrad surrender both his Ghanaian and US passports by Monday, November 4. Additionally, he must undergo a medical review at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) on the same day, ensuring any health needs are addressed during his time in custody. Should any urgent medical issue arise, the court instructed that he be taken to the Police Hospital for immediate treatment.
The charges stem from a tragic accident on October 12, 2024, when a Jaguar SUV driven by the 16-year-old collided with a 4×4 Acura on Mensah Wood Street, claiming the lives of Justine Mary-Anne Enyonam Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh, who have since been laid to rest.
In the wake of the accident, authorities launched an investigation, which led to the arrest of his parents, Bishop Salifu Amoako and Mouha Amoako, for their alleged role in allowing their underage son to drive.
The family has publicly expressed their regret, with Bishop Salifu Amoako offering a heartfelt apology to the victims’ families, reflecting the sorrow and loss felt across the community.
