East Legon Accident: Bishop Amoako condemns church members' assault on journalist

Accra, Ghana - October 20, 2024 - Bishop Salifu Amoako, founder of Alive Chapel International, has publicly condemned the actions of some church members who assaulted an EIB Network reporter following court proceedings on October 17.

Addressing his congregation on Sunday, October 20, Bishop Amoako expressed disappointment and regret over the incident, emphasizing the importance of self-control and compassion.

The incident occurred after a court hearing related to the tragic East Legon accident involving Bishop Amoako's 16-year-old son which claimed the lives of two young girls on Saturday, October 12.

“Control yourselves, ACI family, I urge you to have self-control. Some of you came to the court to disgrace me there. You didn’t behave wisely. You have added more battles to my battles already. What you came to do at the court is very disgraceful. You shouldn’t have done that.

“Do you know the damage you have done in my life? Now I am fighting what has happened to me and the media is fighting me. The case is now in the court. We don’t go to court to fight, but we go there to interpret the law.

“Some of you were lucky that you were not arrested. Some of you went there to mess up. By now, you should be in jail. I have not called you to come and fight for me. Now listen to me, I have not called you to come and fight for me,” he stated.
