Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, the Founder and Leader of Parliament Chapel International, has expressed deep disappointment in Bishop Salifu Amoako for comments made during a church service on Sunday. Bishop Amoako, a prominent religious leader and father of the 16-year-old boy involved in the tragic accident that claimed the lives of two young girls in East Legon on Saturday, October 12, 2024, had earlier issued a public apology, which received national sympathy.
“I’m deeply disappointed in Bishop Salifu Amoako for the comments he made during his service,” said Apostle Amoako Attah. “After already apologizing and gaining the nation’s support, he should not have said those things.”
Bishop Salifu Amoako, addressing his congregation at Alive Chapel International on Sunday, October 20, called for an end to public discussions surrounding the accident. The tragic incident involving his son has drawn significant public attention, with many weighing in on the matter. However, Bishop Amoako defended his son, emphasizing that the accident was not a deliberate act of violence.
“It was an accident. My son did not carry a gun to kill anybody. He involved himself in a terrible accident, and I am not the one who did it, nor his mother. It is my name, that is why people are talking,” said Bishop Amoako.
He urged Ghanaians to show restraint, stop sensationalizing the tragedy, and allow the legal process to take its course. Bishop Amoako expressed his frustration with the public’s reaction, underscoring that while accidents are heartbreaking, they are not crimes, and his son did not commit murder but was involved in a tragic, unforeseen event.
Apostle Amoako Attah’s disappointment highlights the critical role of religious leaders in fostering responsible communication, particularly when sensitive issues are at the forefront of public attention.
