Anger and disappointment have engulfed families of the two young girls who died in the fatal East Legon accident involving the son of popular preacher Salifu Amoako as the medical officer attending to the preacher’s son at the University of Ghana Hospital claims he is not fit to be interrogated by the police even though he has been discharged from the hospital, sources close to the development have revealed.
“It is unbelievable and shocking that a doctor will go ahead to discharge the boy from the hospital after undergoing all the various processes of healthcare and yet that same doctor has written a note to the Police saying the boy cannot be interrogated by the Police until he the same doctor says so. How is this fair to the families who are going through these difficult times? Why is the doctor bent on preventing the police from doing their work,” a family member of one of the victims bemoaned.
A staff of the UGMC who also spoke on condition of anonymity said “ This is very strange, the boy is looking strong and in good shape so we cannot understand why Dr Fred Salawu appears to be shielding him from the police. It appears Dr Salawu is being motivated by something else because this is very strange. It is just not fair to the girls who died and their families. Will this special treatment be extended to every person or it is because his father has money and influence”.
Meanwhile, sources say the Police are disappointed in the posture of the medical officer as all efforts to get the suspect interrogated is impeded by the phyician.
Nonetheless officers of the Ghana Police are keeping and eye on the suspect until such time when the medical officer will clear him fit for an encounter with the law enforcement agency.
The accident which ignited massive public outcry led to the untimely death of two young girls as their car caught fire after they were rammed into by the speeding vehicle of Salifu Amoako’s son.
