This is sad

Ghana's ministers of defence and environment have died in a military helicopter crash in the central Ashanti region, along with six other people, a government spokesperson says.

Chief of Staff Julius Debrah told a press conference that Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment, Science and Technology Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed had been killed in the crash, which he described as a "national tragedy".

Earlier, the Ghana Armed Forces said the aircraft, which was carrying three crew and five passengers had gone "off the radar".

It had taken off from the capital, Accra, at 09:12 local time (and GMT) and was heading to the gold-mining town of Obuasi for a national event.


The authorities have not confirmed the cause of the crash.

The chief of staff has directed the country's flags to fly at half-mast.

He extended condolences to "the servicemen who died in service to the country," on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama and the government

Stop being naughty bro. You may even end up dying before the people you wish to die so better watch what you wish others before it ends up happening to you

Meanwhile seun how many characters do I need to write RIP,just three o not thirty

The chopper craft tumbled. Men. I can't fathom their final moments

What a National loss to Ghana....

Eternal rest grant unto them all..

Sometimes, we black people don't really take maintenance culture as a safety measures....

God knows best.

RIP great Men.

Life is so frail and we humans are so fragile.

Helicopter is really one of the least safe means of transportation.

Infact there is a bolt/nut at the top of the chopper called the Jesus nut. What it means is that if it fails in air, only Jesus can save you

On behalf of the people of Nigeria kindly accept our condolences in this hard time

God forbid anything that'll put me in a helicopter.
I'll rather miss an opportunity than access it via a copter.
