“You’ve disgraced me” – Salifu Amoako condemns attack on Journalist

Bishop Salifu Amoako, father of the 16-year-old boy involved in the tragic accident that claimed the lives of two young girls at East Legon on Saturday, October 12, has condemned the actions of some of his church members, who assaulted a reporter from EIB Network after court proceedings on Thursday, October 17, 2024.

Addressing his congregation at Alive Chapel International on Sunday, October 20, Bishop Amoako expressed regret over the incident and emphasized the importance of restraint and understanding during challenging times.

He urged his followers to embrace compassion and foster dialogue, reminding the community to approach the situation with empathy and consider all perspectives surrounding the tragic event.

“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.
