It has emerged that the black box of the Z-9 Ghana Air Force helicopter, which crashed on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, killing the Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, and seven others, has been retrieved.
This was confirmed by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, on Thursday, August 7, 2025, a day after the tragic incident.
In a post on Facebook, he wrote, "Black box has been found," a development that has been met with both relief and anxiety.
The black box, which comprises the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), will play a crucial role in determining the cause of the accident.
