Drama unfolded during the final funeral rites of Ghana's late former Defense Minister, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, in Koforidua today, Saturday, December 13, 2025, as mourners scrambled for funeral souvenirs.

The incident reportedly occurred after the service was abruptly halted due to a sudden downpour accompanied by strong winds.

Dr. Omane Boamah was among eight individuals, including fellow Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, who tragically lost their lives in a military helicopter crash on August 6, 2025.

The state-recognized funeral, held at Jackson’s Park in Koforidua, was expected to attract hundreds of mourners alongside government officials. However, the adverse weather forced an unexpected interruption, cutting the proceedings short.

A video circulating widely on social media, especially TikTok, captured the chaotic rush for commemorative items as attendees sought souvenirs amid the confusion caused by the rain.

Dr. Omane Boamah, a respected medical doctor and public servant, was fondly remembered in emotional tributes from his family and colleagues, who praised his unwavering dedication and service to the nation.
