The prophet's watch night service, held at the new church auditorium located on the Kumasi road, drew a massive turnout, resulting in a virtual standstill on the Accra-Kumasi highway on December 31, 2025. As of January 1, 2026, there were road users who were still stuck in traffic due to the watch night service held at the church. Some were going to celebrate the New Year with their family, but had to cook and eat by the roadside instead. Several people expressed their anger over the heavy traffic on the road during the holidays. Social media users called for security agencies to deal with the church and its founder. Adom Kyei-Duah apologises In a response to the heavy traffic jam on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah apologised to Ghanaians for the inconvenience. He said that the calls for his arrest were justified; however, he pleaded that Ghanaians forgive him. "The Accra-Kumasi highway is a major road that many use for their businesses and other activities. So for there to be traffic for almost two days means a lot. It was all caused by me." "Some people have never been stranded in their lives, but because of our 31st watchnight service, they were in a tight situation. I have not been myself since all that happened. When I think of the discomfort I caused several road users, all I can do is apologise. I accept that I am guilty. I deserved the insults that were rained on me. Please forgive me. Those who were calling for my arrest on social media, please forgive me. I did not do well, forgive me," he added.
