“Owusu Bempah and a few other pastors visited the hospital last night, prayed for the two boys involved in the accident, and sought God’s intervention.”

The post added that considering the seriousness of his leg injury, Erald Amoako would have to be taken to the theatre for surgery.

"Last night, they had a meeting about taking him to the theatre this morning for surgery, but I’m not sure if he has already been taken to the theatre or not. He had a deep cut on his leg that needs surgery, so he’ll be taken to the theatre this morning for treatment."

Netizens criticise pastors who visited Erald

Although the pastors likely meant well, netizens who saw @sikaofficial1's post were unhappy with their hospital visit.

Some believe the pastors should have been praying for the relatives of those killed in the crash instead of the two teens.
