16 Saviour Church Members Given Mass Burial After Fatal Highway Crash

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 p.m., 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.

The tragedy has plunged the entire Obogu community and the Saviour Church into mourning, with bereaved families and friends struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of their loved ones.
