Ghanaian media personality and entertainment pundit Abena Moet has expressed her concerns about the preferential treatment often given to pastors’ children, highlighting a troubling dynamic within some church communities.
During her appearance on Neat FM, she expressed frustration over how church members tend to elevate pastors’ children, often treating them as if they are above others.
“What is wrong with those church members? We always treat pastors’ children like they’re better than everyone else,” she stated.
Her remarks sparked a wider conversation about the implications of this favouritism and its potential consequences.
Abena Moet’s comments come in the wake of a controversial incident involving Elrod Amoako, the 16-year-old son of Archbishop Salifu Amoako, the head pastor of Alive Chapel International Ministries.
Elrod was involved in a fatal car crash that resulted in the tragic deaths of two teenagers, Justine Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh, on October 12, 2024.
Following the incident, there were allegations that members of the church attacked journalists at the courthouse, further escalating the situation and drawing public outrage.
Reflecting on the behaviour of some church members, Abena Moet remarked, “And if you look closely, in most churches, pastors’ children are often the most stubborn and spoiled.”
Her criticism was directed not only at the individuals involved but also at the larger system that allows such behaviours to go unchecked.
She emphasized the need for accountability, stating that Elrod Amoako and his parents must face the full consequences of 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,” she insisted.
Abena Moet questioned the narratives that often shield pastors’ children from facing the repercussions of their actions, highlighting the need for equal treatment and justice.
She pointed out that even if Elrod’s parents claim they were unaware of his activities, such as taking the car without permission, they should still be held accountable, especially considering his previous reckless behaviour shared on social media.

The tragic accident has reignited discussions about the responsibilities of church leaders and the impact of their children’s actions on the community.
Abena Moet’s comments underscore a growing sentiment among the public that accountability should be universal, regardless of one’s status or connections.
The incident has not only raised questions about Elrod’s behaviour but has also sparked a broader dialogue about the expectations placed on pastors’ children and the culture of impunity that sometimes exists within religious institutions.
As the situation continues to develop, the call for justice remains loud and clear. Many are echoing Abena Moet’s sentiments, urging a reevaluation of how pastors’ children are perceived and treated within the church community.
With public figures like her bringing attention to these issues, there is hope for a more equitable approach to accountability, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, are held responsible for their actions.
