Thousands of commuters found themselves trapped in a gruelling parking lot scenario on the Accra-Kumasi Highway early Thursday, January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

This followed the conclusion of a massive \u2018Watch Night\u2019 service by the Believers Worship Centre, also known as the Philadelphia Church or the Second Chance Church, led by Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah.<\/p>\n

The gridlock, which centred around the Atwidie stretch of the N6 Highway, was triggered by the synchronised departure of thousands of worshippers from the major religious camp meeting hosted by the Philadelphia Church.<\/p>\n

As the 24-hour New Year\u2019s Eve vigil concluded, an overwhelming surge of private vehicles and chartered buses merged onto the main artery, overwhelming the road\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n

For many travellers attempting to make the cross-country trip to Accra for New Year\u2019s Day celebrations, the journey became an endurance test. <\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the tailback extended for several kilometres, affecting key transit points including Juaso and Konongo.<\/p>\n
