A church programme by the founder and leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua in Accra Tuesday has caused an unprecedented traffic in the capital and virtually brought vehicular movement to a halt.
Thousands of worshipers flocked the church on the Spintex Road to be a part of the historic visit of the popular man of God who has millions of followers across the world.
Detention
As early as 2am Tuesday, the road to the church was choked with vehicles as people travel from as far as Benin into Ghana to see the Nigerian prophet. The situation attracted huge media attention.
However, some journalists who went to the area to report on the situation motorists describe as "chaotic" were detained for several hours by security personnel of the church.
Their crime, Emmanuel Anteh, a journalist with Joy News on Multi-TV, narrated to Myjoyonline.com, was that they did not seek permission before filming the chaotic situation at the church premises.
Anteh was detained together with his cameraman, Gilbert Azu, without any explanation.
Another group of journalists from NET 2 Television were detained for more than six hours.
Due to the historic church service, the entire Spintex enclave has been swamped by a fleet of cars, causing heavy and unbearable traffic on an already traffic prone road.
