Wednesday, August 6, 2025, will be remembered as one of the darkest days in Ghana's recent history - a day that began like any other but ended in heartbreak for an entire nation.

What was meant to be a routine journey for several top government officials and military officers tragically ended in disaster, leaving the country reeling from the sudden loss of dedicated public servants and patriots.   In the wake of the military helicopter crash in the Adansi area of the Ashanti Region, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu revealed that President John Dramani Mahama is deeply affected by the incident."The President is down, down, down emotionally.

We pray that God will give him the fortitude and the Ghanaian people the strength to accept this tragic loss," Mr.

Iddrisu told JoyNews shortly after the fatalities were confirmed.
