Member of Parliament for Tolon and First Deputy Minority Whip, Alhaji Habib Iddrisu, has formally written to President John Mahama requesting information on the findings of the committee established to investigate the tragic aircraft crash that claimed the lives of eight Ghanaians on August 6.
In a letter dated October 27, addressed to the President, Mr Iddrisu invoked Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 18 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989) to request a copy of the investigative report or an update on the matter.
The accident, which occurred on August 6, 2025, led to the deaths of several senior government officials and military officers, including:
Dr Edward Omane Boamah – Minister for Defence
Alhaji Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed – Minister for Environment
Alhaji Muniru Mohammed – Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator
Dr Samuel Sarpong – Vice Chairman, NDC
Mr Samuel Aboagye – Former Parliamentary Candidate
Squadron Leader Peter Bafimi Anala
Flying Officer Twum Ampadu
Sergeant Ernest Addo
“The nation mourned together following this profound loss, recalling that on August 25, 2025, a committee of inquiry was set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, with a promise that the findings would be shared within thirty days.
“In light of the time that has passed and the significant public interest in this matter, I respectfully request a copy of the investigative report or update,” he wrote.
He said that the public deserves to know what led to the deaths of “such prominent figures and dedicated public servants,” urging the Presidency to release the full and final report from the investigative committee or provide an interim update if the process is still ongoing.
“If the complete report is not yet available, I would appreciate it if you could release a partial or interim report. This would not only keep the public informed but also reflect the government’s commitment to transparency during this difficult time,” he added.
