I think the point was that 2 aircraft on the same runway at the same time is potentially dangerous ? However it happens.
Was the stuck aircraft still with pax. and crew aboard ? If so was the Cdr. of stuck aircraft advised that the runway would still be used with him in the firing line so to speak ? Was he asked of he had any objection ? Should he have been?
I'm with those who reckon it was Not A Good Idea, but also with the opinion that the decision to land was made by the pilot who did so. The buck stops with him I reckon, and he has to justify his action after taking all his available - or not available - options into consideration. His job, his neck.
Biggest fault here was going to Accra in the first place !!
