Ghanaian media personality and entertainment pundit Abena Moet has expressed frustration over the preferential treatment often given to pastors’ children by church members.
Her comments come in the wake of the tragic accident involving Elrad Salifu Amoako, the 16-year-old son of Archbishop Salifu Amoako, which resulted in the deaths of two young girls.
Abena Moet highlighted the hypocrisy she sees in church communities, where pastors’ children are often treated better than other children, despite sometimes being more troublesome.
“What is wrong with those church members? We always treat pastors’ children like they’re better than everyone else. The things they wouldn’t do for their own children, they would do for the pastors’ children.
“And if you look closely, in most churches, pastors’ children are often the most stubborn and spoiled,” she said.
She also condemned the actions of some members of Alive Chapel International Ministries who allegedly attacked journalists at the courthouse.
Abena Moet further called for Elrad Amoako and his parents to face the full extent of the law for their actions.
“This child must be punished. Whether he likes it or not, he must face the law. The parents should also be held accountable; even if they claim they didn’t know he had taken the car out at that time, what about the other times he has taken cars and posted videos on social media?” she questioned.
Following the accident, Archbishop Salifu Amoako and his wife, Mouha Amoako, were arrested on October 15 and later granted bail of ¢50,000 each.
Currently, criticisms of the Archbishop have intensified on social media after videos surfaced of him calling for an end to public commentary on the matter.
