In the video posted on Monday, 9 November 2026, Fire Oja spoke from what appeared to be a room in his residence, clearly agitated as he recounted his ordeal.

The popular pastor claimed that he received a fine suggesting that a 2025-registered Honda Civic vehicle linked to his name was caught speeding, despite his insistence that he never got behind the wheel or left his home that day.

Fire Oja's TraffiTech-GH fine complaint

The pastor claimed he had reached out through multiple channels, including calls to various official numbers, and even sent messages in an attempt to dispute the charge but received no satisfactory response.

Fire Oja added that the situation worsened when he discovered the number plates tied to the fine did not match any vehicle he owns, leading him to suggest that there may be duplicate or fraudulent plates in circulation.

He said:

"Mr President, your excellency, I received a message that I had oversped at 9am in the morning and that I was driving a 2025-registered Honda Civic even though I had been at home the whole day. I have not sat in any car or driven. I don't own a Honda Civic."
"We are in 2026. Where am I going to get a 2025 number plate and attach it to my car? But I have been sent a message claiming that I had oversped and needed to pay an amount of money."

NANA BOATENG said:

"Osofo, the government needs money for the 24-hour market, so please pay for us even if you're not the one 🙏."

SHOUBBERT commented:

"🥺I believe the country is not fully prepared at this stage. The majority of our major roads do not display speed limits clearly or consistently, so it is difficult for drivers to know what speed they should be travelling. It is challenging to enforce compliance when the necessary guidance is not in place."
