The Founder and General Overseer of Alive Chapel International Church, Prophet Elisha Salifu Amoako, has been granted bail by the Circuit Court in Accra in the sum of GH¢50,000, with two sureties each.
His wife, Mouha Amoako, a banker, and one Linda Bonsu Prempeh, a sales assistant, have also been granted bail in the same amount with two sureties each, without justification.
This decision came after they all pleaded not guilty to one count of “permitting an unlicensed person to drive.”
The Court, presided over by His Honour Samuel Bright Acquah, stated, “The accused persons should keep their passports,” but must notify the Court if they wish to travel.
The prosecution, led by Ebenezer Yaw Acquah, an Assistant State Attorney, while not opposing bail, urged the Court to order the accused to deposit their passports and Ghana Cards with the investigators.
This followed oral bail applications made by the lawyers of the accused: Justice Abdulai for Salifu Amoako and his wife, and Selali Woanyo for Linda Bonsu Prempeh.
The case has been adjourned to October 30, 2024.
