Breaking News: Ghanaian Military Helicopter Crash Claims Lives of Top Government and Military Officials

A devastating military helicopter crash occurred in Ghana’s Ashanti Region on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, claiming the lives of eight high-ranking government officials and military personnel.

The Ghana Air Force Z-9 helicopter, which departed Accra at 9:12 a.m. en route to Obuasi, lost contact with radar shortly after takeoff and crashed in a remote area near Adansi Sikaman.

Government Officials:
– *Dr. Edward Omane Boamah*: Minister for Defence
– *Alhaji Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed*: Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation
– *Alhaji Muniru Mohammed*: Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator
– *Dr. Samuel Sarpong*: Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
– *Mr. Samuel Aboagye*: Former Parliamentary Candidate
– *Military Personnel:*
– *Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala*: Pilot
– *Flying Officer Twum Ampadu*: Co-pilot
– *Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah*: Flight Engineer

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, with preliminary observations suggesting possible adverse weather conditions or mechanical failure. The Ghana Armed Forces has launched a full investigation into the incident.

Ghana has declared a period of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast and funeral arrangements to be announced in consultation with the families. President John Dramani Mahama expressed deep sorrow and canceled all official duties for the day.

The nation is in shock, with tributes pouring in from citizens, politicians, and international partners.

The loss of these prominent individuals has sent shockwaves across the country, casting a somber shadow over ongoing national reforms and international partnerships.

The investigation into the crash is expected to provide further details on the circumstances surrounding the tragedy
