Eight die in helicopter crash
The August 6 helicopter crash involved a Harbin Z‑9EH military helicopter with the tail number GHF 631. It was operated by the Ghana Air Force.
The aircraft left Accra at around 09:12 on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, carrying eight people, including the members of the Ghana Air Force controlling it.
They were bound for Obuasi in the Ashanti Region on an anti‑illegal‑mining mission. However, they lost radar contact and crashed in the Adansi Akrofuom District.
All eight people on board lost their lives. The eight were Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah, Environment, Science and Technology Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Muniru Mohammed Limuna, NDC Vice‑Chair Samuel Sarpong, former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye, Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manaen Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
After their death, an investigation was initiated. The investigative body was chaired by National Security Coordinator Abdul‑Osman Razak, with contributions from the Ghana Air Force, the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, and international advisers.
