Facebook User Blames Mahama for Spike in Road Accidents

The road accidents in Ghana 2025 have seen a disturbing surge, with 7,289 road crashes recorded in just the first half of the year, resulting in 1,504 deaths and 1,301 pedestrian knockdowns, according to official data.

Reacting to the troubling statistics, the unnamed Facebook user posted a strongly worded message directed at the president, raising fears of a deeper cause behind the deadly trend.

“John Mahama, why every accident and killings? What sacrifices and pledges did you make for power? Ghanaians should be worried,” the post read.

The spike in road fatalities has become a national issue, with many citizens calling for urgent interventions such as stricter road safety enforcement, better infrastructure, and improved public transport systems.
