In the wake of a tragic accident in East Legon on October 12, 2024, that resulted in the deaths of two young girls, Ghanaian actress Nana Ama McBrown has come forward to express her support for Salifu Amoako, the lead pastor of Alive Chapel Ministries International. During her appearance on Onua Showtime on October 20, McBrown voiced her desire for the legal system to show leniency toward the pastor, whom she regards as family.
“Bishop Salifu is like an uncle to me because he grew up in Kwadaso, and I saw him when he was starting his church. He is a very good man,” McBrown remarked. “This is not the time for people to hate him, and I plead for leniency from the law. I also pray that God strengthens him because he is going through a lot.”
Her remarks come against the backdrop of a grieving community grappling with the tragic loss. McBrown also appealed to the families affected, encouraging them to forgive Pastor Amoako. “I was present at the vigil held in East Legon. I saw the mother of one of the deceased, and you could see the pain she was going through. I know it is not easy to lose a child, but I want to plead with the families to forgive him,” she stated.
As conversations continue regarding the ramifications of the accident, McBrown’s heartfelt appeal resonates with many, highlighting the importance of compassion in difficult times.
