The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has led a high-powered delegation to receive the remains of eight victims, who tragically died in Wednesday’s military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region.
The mortal remains were transported from the crash site to Kumasi in an Air Force aircraft and delivered to the Air Force Base this evening.
Upon arrival, they were received in a solemn ceremony attended by senior military officials and members of the Air Force leadership.
The crash claimed the lives of key public servants, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Alhaji Ibrahim Murtala Mohamme, NDC Vice-Chair Samuel Sarpong, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Muniru Mohammed, and former MP Samuel Aboagye.
The Ghana Air Force personnel crew members who perished were Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Mane-Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
