A KFC branch in Ashaiman was shut down on August 15, 2026, after a promotional event drew an overwhelming crowd that shattered the restaurant's glass door, triggering scenes of chaos that have since gone viral across Ghanaian social media.
Footage posted by popular Ghanaian blogger Dadzie TV on Instagram shows hundreds of people packed tightly inside the outlet, pushing against one another beneath the restaurant's distinctive red ceiling and pendant lights. The sheer volume of bodies appears to have been more than the entrance could withstand, with the glass door giving way under the pressure.

KFC security officer beats customers
What has drawn the loudest criticism is not the stampede itself but what allegedly followed. Ghanaians online have directed heavy backlash at security officers on the scene, accusing them of assaulting customers after the door broke.
Many commenters argued that beating members of the public in such a situation was an excessive and unacceptable response, with calls growing for KFC Ghana to publicly address the incident.
The branch's closure following the event has only added fuel to the debate, raising questions about crowd management planning ahead of promotional offers that routinely draw large numbers in Accra and its surrounds.
