Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, the leader and founder of Second Chance Church, has broken his silence about concerns that his church activities were obstructing construction works on the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
According to Adom Kyei-Duah, people are calling on the Mahama government to demolish his church, with soldiers quizzing what at all he has done.
Adom Kyei-Duah disclosed that he was unaware of any concerns involving the church until the Roads Minister visited the project site and the contractor raised the issue with him.
The man of God disclosed he had supported the contractors since they arrived at the site by providing space for them to keep their equipment, adding that he also allowed his security personnel to watch over the equipment and had maintained a cordial relationship with the workers.
Speaking in a sermon to his congregation on Sunday, October 4, 2026, Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah stated, “I thought I had no issues with the contractors because I was the same person who gave them a place to keep their equipment and allowed my security to protect them.
“I haven’t met the main contractor before, but whenever I meet his boys, I even tip them. I never knew I had offended him,” he said.
He added, “And it was because of me that I had made his job difficult, but I had no idea. I have machines and everything, so why didn’t we sit down and talk? But until the Roads Minister came around, I didn’t realise that I had issues with them,” he stated.
Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah, however, expressed appreciation to the Roads Minister, saying, “But what they meant for evil, the Roads Minister has turned into good”.
He further reacted to calls for the government to deploy soldiers to demolish portions of the church allegedly affecting the road project.
“People are calling on the government to bring soldiers to demolish my church. What at all have I done?” he asked.
“The Roads Minister has ordered for the road to be constructed for us because we are all Ghanaians. I think so much of him,” he added.
The development follows, the contractor working on the Kumasi-Konongo Bypass telling the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza they were having issues with Second Chance Church, founded and led by Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah.
According to the contractor, persistent drainage challenges and the failure of a section of the road to access works and activities around the Second Chance Church.
The contractor disclosed that the affected section had completely failed, compelling the project team to excavate the area and undertake extensive filling works using boulders and crushed rock.
He disclosed that nearly two metres of material had been added to raise the road, but the drainage problem had persisted.
The contractor stated, “All the cross-drainages that we did here are all silted again because of the activities from this area”.
According to the contractor, access routes being created around Second Chance are a major challenge to the project.
He explained, “We are having issues with the access being created around Second Chance, the church of Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, and that is what has actually caused the failure here”.
The contractor argued that the situation was particularly concerning because the drainage infrastructure could become blocked after the road rehabilitation works were completed.
He further disclosed that the road had originally been about a metre lower but had since been raised by almost two metres to address the recurring failure, adding that despite the elevation, the drainage challenge remained unresolved.
The Accra-Kumasi Highway contractor disclosed that asphalt works on the affected section were expected to commence within a week but cautioned that unless the drainage and access problems were addressed before the asphalt works, the road could suffer another failure.
Also, the Roads Minister has urged contractors working on the Accra-Kumasi Bypass to put in their maximum effort to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
