Media personality Nana Yaa Brefo has criticised the General Overseer of Alive Chapel International Ministry, Archbishop Salifu Amoako, after his church members attacked journalists at the court premises.
She slammed those involved in the act for engaging in violent behavior to defend their pastor, which goes against Biblical teachings.
The Onua FM presenter stated that it was unnecessary for the aggrieved congregants to confront journalists, as it tarnishes the image of Christ in the public domain.
“Let me tell the church led by Bishop Salifu. They should never do that uncivilised thing again. Sometimes you can’t tell which God some Christians serve; it’s difficult to comprehend.
"When an armed robber is arrested, people don’t carry weapons to the police station. Sometimes we behave as if we can direct God and are even wiser than Him. Sometimes we want to twist God’s hand to do our bidding. Some of us are hypocrites,” Yaa Brefo said while speaking on Onua FM.
This follows an attack on a GHOne TV journalist at the court premises on October 16, 2024.
The journalist sustained injuries, with the incident receiving wide condemnation from Ghanaians.
Salifu Amoako, his wife Mouha Amoako, and Linda Bempah, a sales assistant, were arrested and charged with permitting an unlicensed person to drive.
The High Court in Accra on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, granted bail of GH¢50,000 each to Bishop Salifu Amoako, his wife Mouha Amoako, and Linda Bempah following their arrest on October 15, 2024.
His youngest son, 16-year-old Elrad Salifu Amoako, was involved in a fatal car crash in East Legon, claiming the lives of two young girls on October 12, 2024.
Elrad Amoako, who was driving a Jaguar SUV (GN 7801-20), collided with a 4×4 Acura vehicle (GR 2542-23) driven by Joseph Ackah.
The collision caused both vehicles to catch fire, resulting in the occupants of the Acura being burnt beyond recognition.
It is worth noting that Bishop Salifu has condemned the act by his church members and reprimanded the violent behavior.
