ACCRA: Ghanaian media personality Abena Moet has voiced concerns over the favoritism shown to pastors’ children within church communities, following a tragic accident involving the son of Archbishop Salifu Amoako. The incident resulted in the deaths of two young girls and has sparked discussions on the responsibilities of religious leaders and their families.
According to Ghana Web, Abena Moet criticized the preferential treatment often afforded to pastors’ children, which, she argues, is a form of hypocrisy within church congregations. She noted that church members tend to favor these children over others, despite their sometimes troublesome behavior. “We always treat pastors’ children like they’re better than everyone else,” she said, questioning the rationale behind such bias.
The tragic accident involved Elrad Salifu Amoako, the 16-year-old son of Archbishop Salifu Amoako. The incident has led to legal actions, with the Archbishop and his wife, Mouha Amoako, being arrested and later released on bail of
S50,000 each. Abena Moet has called for accountability, insisting that Elrad and his parents should face the full extent of the law for their roles in the accident. She raised concerns about previous instances of the teenager taking cars and posting videos on social media, questioning the oversight of his parents.
Criticism of Archbishop Salifu Amoako has been mounting on social media, particularly after videos emerged of him urging the public to cease commentary on the incident. Meanwhile, Abena Moet also condemned actions by some members of Alive Chapel International Ministries, who allegedly attacked journalists at the courthouse.
