Correspondence from the Ashanti Region Sixteen members of the Saviour Church of Ghana who lost their lives in a tragic road accident on the Atwedie stretch of the Kumasi-Accra Highway were on Thursday, July 31, 2025, laid to rest in a mass burial at Obogu in the Asante Akyem North Municipality.
The devastating crash occurred on Monday, July 28, at about 2:30 PM, when the victims were returning from the church's annual programme in the Eastern Region.
Eyewitnesses say the accident happened following a head-on collision between the vehicle carrying the church members and an oncoming fuel tanker.
In a sorrowful ceremony filled with grief and prayers, the Obogu community and the church leadership joined hands to dig a single large grave for all 16 victims - a poignant symbol of their togetherness in life and in death.
