Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation as well as Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, and Alhaji Limuna Muniru Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, were solemnly laid to rest following their tragic deaths in the military helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, at Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region.


Their burial service took place on August 10, 2025, beginning with Islamic Janazah prayers at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra.

The ceremony was deeply solemn and reflective, attended by thousands of Ghanaians, including high-profile political figures such as President John Dramani Mahama, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, members of parliament, and the National Chief Imam Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu. Other dignitaries, government officials, traditional rulers, members of the diplomatic corps, the Muslim community, and citizens also joined in paying their respects.

The event underscored the profound loss felt across the nation.

Dr. Murtala was remembered as a principled politician and fearless voice in parliament who dedicated himself to advancing environmental and technological progress in Ghana.

Alhaji Muniru was honored for his dedicated service as a vigilant security chief safeguarding national interests.

After the prayers, both men were laid to rest at the Muslim section of the Military Cemetery near Burma Camp in Accra in accordance with Islamic tradition.

The burial was conducted with restricted media coverage, allowing only close family members and imams near the graveside to observe the final rites.

The helicopter crash had claimed the lives of eight people, including notable government ministers and officials.

Following a three-day national mourning period and memorial events, the state funeral marked a final national farewell to these distinguished public servants.

An inter-denominational state funeral for all victims of the crash is scheduled for August 15, 2025, at Black Star Square in Accra.
