The accident
The unfortunate accident which claimed the lives of the two girls occurred on October 12, 2024 at East Legon.
At the Mensah Wood Avenue (T-Junction), East Legon, Accra, a Jaguar vehicle at top speed ran into an Acura the girls were sitting in at the backseat. Both vehicles immediately caught fire after an electric pole landed on them, thus exploding.
Bishop Salifu Amoako earlier issued an emotional apology to the bereaved families on behalf of his son whose error claimed two lives.
