A helicopter has been engulfed in flames and burned beyond recognition after crashing into a tree at Adansi Brofoyedu in the Ashanti Region.
The tragic incident occurred on the morning of Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
The aircraft, which reportedly flies the Accra–Obuasi route every Wednesday, went down under unclear circumstances.
The aircraft passengers according to security source included government official and some government sector Ministers.
The Assembly Member for the area, Matthew Baah, confirmed the incident.
He explained that he was working on his farm when he received a distress call.
“After the crash, everything went silent. Residents who rushed to the scene found the helicopter in flames,” he recounted.
Initial observations suggest that four people may have been on board, as dismembered body parts were recovered from the crash site. However, their identities have not yet been confirmed.
While the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, Mr Baah noted that poor weather conditions could have been a contributing factor.
Kumasi Mail source within the military also confirmed 8 people were on board including 3 soldiers and 5 other government officials.
