Heated Clash In Trotro As Passenger Confronts Preacher For Making Noise

  • A heated dispute unfolded in a trotro as a passenger confronted a pastor for preaching during the commute, violating laws against such disruptions
  • The incident took an intense turn as the agitated passenger demanded the preacher to stop, accusing him of disturbing the peace
  • However, a woman supported the preacher and encouraged him to continue speaking the Word of God

A recent viral video captured a heated altercation in a Ghanaian trotro, a public transport vehicle, as a passenger confronted a preacher for violating the country's laws against preaching and causing disturbances during commutes.

In the footage, a man, who looks like he's in his 30s, passionately preached about repentance, prompting a visibly agitated fellow passenger to demand that he stop, accusing him of disrupting the peace in the vehicle.

Speaking in Twi, the irritated passenger forcefully closed the preacher's Bible and urged him to be silent for the sake of peace, leading to a lively debate within the trotro.

The video captured the escalating tension as the preacher, undeterred by the confrontation, insisted on continuing to spread the Word of God. In response, a woman on the trotro argued in support of the pastor. She pointed out that drivers often play profane music, creating noise without facing consequences, highlighting a broader issue of inconsistency in enforcing the rules against disturbances and emphasizing the need for a more uniform application of regulations.
