Students of Accra Academy Scripture Union (SU) were seen praying fervently in tongues close to their school's park.
The boys were led by one of their own, possibly a leader of the Scripture Union at the campus.

In a video on X, all the students who were praying wore their school uniform. Some of the boys wore the school's sleeveless jacket, while others wore the long-sleeved cardigans.
The Accra Academy students had formed a circle, and the person leading the prayer was standing in the middle of the gathering. The leader was holding a Bible, an indication that he probably read a scripture while they prayed.
All the students present at the field had closed their eyes and were busy praying.

Reactions to Accra Academy students praying
YEN.com.gh collated some reactions to the video shared by @cdrafrica on X. Read them below:

"Interesting how some people are reacting to this. There is a place for FAITH and WORKS (studying). If someone is praying, that can’t be called nonsense if they have also allocated enough time to study and become successful students. Some of us are where we are today partly due to how Scripture Union “saved” us from not becoming wayward in high school. If done well, faith and works make you successful. And before you say anything, your mentor, role models and other successful people all have faith, belief in something and pray always. The difference is, you may not see them displaying themselves."

"Yet we can’t even reach the National Maths and Science Quiz quarter finals. If these prayers and fasting really work, these dudes would have won at least one of those trophies, but not even one, not to even talk about their WASSCE results. Pathetic."

"This is better than those videos promoting promiscuity amongst High School student in Ghana. Or those comments that say “Teachers need self-control stipend” and start panning the video across young high school girls."
@Kwasiabinti_ said:
"We know you have brought this here for people to ridicule and insult them. But I’ll have this over the students running from school to smoke in a “ghetto” to commit crimes. May the good Lord answer their prayers. Amen 🙏🏾."
