The Founder and General Overseer of Alive Chapel International, Bishop Salifu Amoako, and his wife, Mouha Amoako, have been re-arrested after being discharged from a legal case involving their son.
According to a report by GHOne TV, the Attorney General, on Monday, February 17, 2025, withdrew the charges against Bishop Amoako, his wife, and another individual who were being prosecuted for allowing their son to drive without a license.
However, the GHOne report stated that the couple were re-arrested immediately after exiting the court on Monday.
The 16-year-old son of Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako was sentenced on December 19, 2024, to serve six months at a senior correctional center.
This followed his guilty plea to eight charges, including two counts of manslaughter, for a tragic road crash in East Legon that claimed the lives of two preteens.
Before his sentencing, Salifu Amoako’s son was remanded by the Family and Juvenile Court and held at the Osu Correctional Centre while he was being prosecuted for causing the crash.
According to police prosecutors, he had been showing off the speed of the Jaguar F-Pace Sport, which belonged to his parents, when it collided with a black Acura in which the victims were traveling.
The report indicated that Salifu Amoako’s son drove the white Jaguar with a friend to A&C Mall, where they met additional friends waiting in two SUVs.
The three vehicles formed a convoy, with the accused leading in his mother’s car—the Jaguar—as they drove through the East Legon area.
During proceedings at the Family and Juvenile Court, the 16-year-old initially pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The court remanded him into custody, addressing the conditions of his remand and outlining specific directives for his care.
Salifu Amoako, his wife, Mouha Amoako, and Linda Bonsu Prempeh, a sales assistant, were also arrested following the accident.
The Accra Circuit Court granted bail to Salifu Amoako and Mouha Amoako at GH¢50,000 each, with two sureties.
Linda Bonsu Prempeh, who allegedly provided the key to the vehicle involved in the accident, was also granted bail under the same conditions, with two sureties, without justification.
The three individuals had been charged with “permitting an unlicensed person to drive,” and all pleaded not guilty during their court appearance on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.
