Families, friends, and the East Legon community gathered for a solemn vigil on Friday, October 18, 2024, to honour the memory of Justine Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh, two young girls who tragically lost their lives in a fatal car accident on October 12. The girls, both students of Cornerstone International Academy, were remembered in an emotional ceremony filled with prayers, tributes, and moments of reflection.
Held at the site of the accident, the vigil was marked by candlelight, with attendees standing in silence, holding candles and flowers as they mourned the devastating loss of the girls whose lives were cut short.
The fatal accident occurred when 16-year-old Elrad Salifu Amoako, son of Bishop Salifu Amoako, lost control of a Jaguar SUV (GN 7801-20) and collided with a 4×4 Acura vehicle (GR 2542-23), driven by Joseph Ackah. Both vehicles caught fire upon impact, and the occupants of the Acura were tragically burned beyond recognition.
Following the incident, Elrad’s parents, Bishop Salifu Amoako and Mouha Amoako, were arrested by the police on October 15 and granted bail of GH¢50,000.
