We gave the car to our son to go to the gym—Salifu Amoako and wife

The family of Elrod Salifu Amoako who is the suspect driver in the East Legon fatal accident, has told the police that they gave the car to their son to drive to the gym and run some errands.

Although they sanctioned the car to be used by Elrod Salifu Amoako, the keys to the car were given to him by one Linda Bempah, described by the prosecution as a sales assistant at Lilo stitches which belongs to the brother of the suspect.

Elisha Salifu Amoako and his wife Mouha Amoako were arrested by the police on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, and were put before court on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.

They have since been granted bail to the tune of Ghc 50,000 by the Accra High Court.

The prosecution on the day did not oppose their plea for bail but prayed the court to apply stringent bail conditions.

Elrod Salifu Amoako on Saturday, October 12, 2024, rammed his vehicle, A Jaguar 4X4 into an Acura at East Legon in Accra.

The accident led to the two cars burning beyond recognition. However, two other 12-year-old girls also got burnt in the process.

Ghanaians have been calling for justice after the accident happened over the weekend.
