Video footage of Bishop Salifu Amoako’s Son Overspeeding in his Mom’s Jaguar hours before accident Pops Up

The
son
of
renowned
Ghanaian
preacher,
Pastor
Salifu
Amoako,
has
been
identified
as
the
driver
behind
a
tragic
accident
that
occurred
in
East
Legon,
Accra.

The
incident,
which
took
place
on
Saturday
evening,
October
12,
2024,
resulted
in
the
loss
of
two
lives.

According
to
reports,
the
accident
involved
a
Jaguar
vehicle
driven
by
the
pastor’s
16-year-old
son.
The
Jaguar
collided
with
an
Acura,
which
immediately
burst
into
flames
upon
impact.

Two
passengers,
both
young
girls
aged
around
11
and
12,
were
tragically
burned
beyond
recognition
in
the
fire.

Eyewitnesses
claim
that
the
pastor’s
son
was
recklessly
speeding
moments
before
the
crash.
The
Ghana
National
Fire
Service
(GNFS)
was
called
to
the
scene
to
extinguish
the
flames
and
recover
the
bodies.

However,
the
process
was
complicated
due
to
logistical
challenges
faced
by
the
fire
service
team.

In
footage
shared
on
the
GNFS
Facebook
page,
firefighters
are
seen
using
specialized
tools
to
cut
through
the
charred
remains
of
the
vehicles.
Smoke
continued
to
rise
from
the
wreckage
as
they
worked
to
retrieve
the
victims.

While
the
pastor’s
son
survived
the
accident,
he
sustained
serious
injuries
and
has
been
hospitalized.
Police
have
yet
to
release
the
identities
of
the
deceased
passengers,
and
investigations
are
ongoing
to
determine
the
exact
cause
of
the
crash.

However,
CCTV
footage
capturing
the
Jaguar’s
high
speed
before
the
accident
has
sparked
outrage
on
social
media.

Many
netizens
believe
that
the
young
driver’s
reckless
behaviour
was
the
cause
of
the
tragic
event.
Since
the
legal
driving
age
in
Ghana
is
18,
questions
have
been
raised
about
whether
the
pastor’s
son
was
a
licensed
driver.

him

him
speeding
just
this
morning.
He
is
16yrs….
I
know
you
guys
want
names
but
we
shall
move
carefully.
The
name
will
come
out
eventually.
I
made
a
mistake
saying
he
lost
control
of
the
car
in
my
earlier
post.
Nahh

guy
needs
jail.”
