The Madina Zongo area in Accra has been filled with sadness after the deaths of fifty-eight people in recent weeks.
The community believes these deaths are linked to the long neglect of the footbridge at the busy junction, which has forced many residents to cross the road in dangerous ways.
Families are mourning while the community continues to ask why such an important structure was left unused for so long.
The deaths have created fear and anger among residents who say they have complained for years.
According to them, the footbridge at the Madina Zongo junction has been completed for a long time, but many people still avoid it because of poor lighting and other issues.
This situation has pushed pedestrians to cross the highway on foot, leading to frequent accidents that have now taken dozens of lives.
On Thursday, September 26, 2025, the military was deployed to the area to bring calm after news of the deaths spread across Accra. Their presence is meant to protect lives and keep order while officials work on finding lasting answers to the problem.
The deployment followed rising tensions, with residents accusing leaders of neglect and calling for urgent action to save lives.
Some community members have said they feel abandoned by the government. They explained that after many accidents and promises in the past, very little has changed to protect pedestrians at the junction.
According to them, the footbridge should not just exist as a structure, but it must also be made safe and welcoming so that people will use it without fear.
Leaders in Madina have also joined the calls for urgent attention. They are asking the authorities to improve lighting, ensure regular security, and educate the public about the dangers of crossing the road directly.
They believe the deaths of fifty-eight residents should be the final signal that the issue can no longer be ignored, and they want firm steps taken immediately.
For now, the community is still grieving while soldiers stand guard at the Zongo junction. Families of the victims are left with pain and unanswered questions as they wait to see if the government will finally act.
The tragedy has reminded many Ghanaians of the cost of neglecting public safety, and people are hoping that lessons from Madina will lead to real change across the country.
