Ghanaians have voiced their anger on social media, particularly through Facebook, regarding the Ghana Police Service’s late announcement concerning road closures for the country’s 68th Independence Day celebrations. The police issued a notice titled “Temporary Closure of Roads in Accra on the Occasion of the 68th Independence Anniversary Celebration at the Jubilee House, Accra on Thursday, 6th March 2025” on the morning of the event, which caught many commuters unaware.

Critics highlighted that the late notice resulted in significant inconvenience and traffic congestion, emphasizing the need for more effective planning and communication from law enforcement agencies during national events.
