Speaking on a show on AdomTV, the media personality, looking at the circumstances leading to the crash, noted that the two young men, particularly the pilot, displayed a lot of selflessness.
He cited eyewitness accounts describing how Captain Frank Donkor, upon realising something was wrong with the aircraft, began signalling to people to move away.
In his view, the pilot’s move to ensure the aircraft did not fall where school children were should not be overlooked.
"According to one eyewitness, the pilot was trying to get them to leave, and one of the things that touched me is that the pilot ensured the aircraft would not fall in a place where school kids were. That is one reason I feel they deserve a state burial," he said.
"Even when their lives were at risk at that point, he thought of many others before himself. I feel that whatever cue the person has shown, love and sacrifice for the nation, because these are some of our future leaders in school."
He concluded by calling for an investigation into the accident that claimed the lives of the individuals
