Bishop Salifu Amoako, the general overseer of Alive Chapel International Ministries, has voiced his displeasure with the amount of media coverage his son's accident has gotten.

He maintained that his kid had no intention of killing anyone and that everything that had happened was just an accident.

Bishop Amoako said, "It was an accident," in a video that GhanaWeb saw that CITI FM had uploaded on X. My son did not go out and kill someone while carrying a pistol. My son got into a really bad accident. It was not me who carried it out. Not even his mother.

On October 20, 2024, the pastor made this statement to his congregation at his Sunday church service, blaming his popularity for drawing attention to the problem.
"The reason the thing is everywhere is because of my name. Who is going to mention that this car hit an Okada? It is merely due to my name. Thus, let us see what the Lord will accomplish "he said.

He cautioned his fellow churchgoers not to waste time talking about the terrible incident that claimed the lives of two young girls.

The man of God added that people talk cheaply because that's what they have, especially Ghanaians.
"People in Ghana talk because they don't know the truth. They have each other and their chatting. Have you heard me out? The only thing Ghana has here is chatter; they have nothing else. Don't go and say things to make my life more painful; talk is cheap. In the now-viral video, he replied, "Remain calm, stay quiet, the case is still in court."

Elrad Salifu Amoako, 16, the son of Bishop Salifu Amoako, lost control of his Jaguar SUV (GN 7801-20) and collided with a 4x4 Acura car (GR 2542-23) in the incident.
The two females in the Acura, Justine Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh, were charred beyond recognition as a result of the collision that set both cars on fire.

Bishop Salifu Amoako and his spouse Mouha Amoako were taken into custody on October 15th, following the accident, and were later released on $50,000 bond apiece.
Reactions to a video that Salifu Amoako posted on social media expressing regret to the families of the deceased were not quite unanimous.
A vigil in honor of the two girls was held at the scene of the accident on October 18.
