A Ghanaian long-distance walker has been forced to suspend his journey after being involved in a road accident with a police vehicle in the Bono East Region.
The walker, Desire Ceaser—popularly known as “The Mosiah Walker Man”—was undertaking an 832-kilometre walk from Paga to Accra to raise awareness about prostate cancer. The unfortunate incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, December 15, 2025, at Bono Manso, where he was reportedly knocked down by a police car escorting the team.
Speaking in an interview with Asempa FM on December 19, Ceaser’s manager, Priscilla Agyeiwaa, confirmed the incident and explained that it happened around 5:45 a.m. She said she heard a loud impact and later realised that Ceaser had been struck by the police vehicle accompanying them on the journey.
According to her, Ceaser narrowly avoided sustaining a serious injury, noting that his leg could have been broken if not for the protective boots he was wearing. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he received treatment and was later discharged.
Priscilla further alleged negligence on the part of the police following the accident, claiming that officers failed to follow up on Ceaser’s condition or settle his medical bills. She added that only one police officer visited him after his discharge and offered GH¢50 for food.
At the time of reporting, Ceaser had returned to Accra, where discussions were ongoing about potential legal action against the police. Priscilla attributed the incident to the negligence of the police driver, stressing that Ceaser was walking on the pavement when the collision occurred.
The incident has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing concern and sharing differing opinions about the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Ceaser’s endurance walk had attracted public attention as part of a growing trend of long-distance journeys undertaken across Ghana. While many of such walks are completed without incident, this case has reignited conversations around road safety, responsibility, and the protection of pedestrians involved in organised long-distance activities.
