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.

Poor parenting, spoilt child and an irresponsible driving have horribly ended the lives of beautiful souls at East Legon. If these four souls were my my wife and kids the family of the 16 year old boy wouldn’t have been spared. I would have cooked and served my own justice 🪓⚒️. pic.twitter.com/XJorZPlTLo
