Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, leader and founder of the Movement for Change, has paid tribute to eight public officials who tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in Adansi, Ashanti Region.

The officials were serving the nation when the fatal accident occurred.

Speaking to the press after laying a wreath at the Jubilee House,Kyerematen described the loss as deeply felt not only by the government and Ghana Armed Forces but by the entire nation.

“The demise of our gallant compatriots is not only a loss to the government, the Armed Forces of Ghana, and their families, but also a loss to the entire nation,” he said.

Kyerematen emphasized the honor in their ultimate sacrifice, acknowledging that the deceased had served Ghana with dedication and courage.

“We are comforted by the fact that these compatriots served our nation well and died in the line of duty,” he added

Drawing upon faith traditions shared by Christians and Muslims alike, Kyerematen offered words of comfort during this period of mourning.

“In moments of grief like these, we are inspired and consoled by holy scripture which reminds us that whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord,” he stated.

The Movement for Change leader concluded his remarks with a heartfelt prayer for the departed souls stating, “And we pray that the good Lord will receive the souls of our kinsmen in His bosom; may they rest in perfect peace.”

Background:

Eight officials lost their lives in a military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region of Ghana on August 6, 2025, including two prominent government ministers: Edward Omane Boamah, the Minister of Defence, and Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, the Minister for Environment.

The helicopter was a Ghana Air Force Harbin Z-9 that took off from Accra heading to Obuasi to attend an event focused on combating illegal mining, a significant environmental issue in Ghana.

The other victims included acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Limuna Mohammed Muniru, Samuel Sarpong, vice chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye, and three crew members from the Ghana Air Force: Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.

The helicopter lost contact with ground control and was later found crashed in the forested Adansi area, with all occupants deceased due to the crash and subsequent fire.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The tragedy was declared a national disaster. President John Mahama declared three days of national mourning, suspended official engagements, and expressed condolences to the families of those who perished.

Flags were flown at half-mast, and both the government and political parties extended their sympathies. The crash is considered one of Ghana’s worst air disasters in recent years
