Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, has confirmed that the son of a fellow priest, Archbishop Salifu Amoako, was the cause of the East Legon accident that led to the death of two ladies.

Speaking on Okay FM on Monday, October 14, 2024, Prophet Kumchacha explained that the news has left the pastor very distraught and devastated.

He explained that since the news got to Salifu Amoako, he has not been able to sleep, to the extent that he feels empty in spirit.

“It is true that my own father, Archbishop-elect Salifu Amoako’s child’s car was the one that crashed into another car, leading to a fire that killed two people. We extend our condolences to the family. In fact, he has not been able to sleep. He has been so devastated by this news.

“He believes this is hard to take in and that the family should take heart because it is not easy… because if my children leave the house and, on their way, two of them die, even Bishop’s spirit and soul are almost lost,” he explained.

CCTV footage from the crash on Saturday, October 12, 202, showed how the accident led to the deaths of two women and left three others critically injured.

The footage shared online showed a speeding vehicle on a main road approaching a junction, where it crashes into another vehicle ahead of it.

Three others, including the drivers of a Jaguar and an Acura vehicle, are also reported to have sustained various degrees of injuries and are battling for their lives.

Assistant Division Officer (ADO) Alex King Nartey from the Public Affairs Department of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) confirmed the incident in an interview on Adom FM.

ADO Nartey said the deceased were in the Acura vehicle.

According to him, preliminary investigations have established that the accident was due to over-speeding.

ADO Nartey further revealed that one of the vehicles crashed into a wooden electric pole, causing the cables to fall off, which reportedly started the fire.
