It has been one week since the tragic helicopter crash at Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region on August 6, 2025, which killed eight people.
After hours of anguish following a statement by the Ghana Armed Forces, which said one of its aircraft transporting top government officials had gone missing, the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, announced to Ghanaians that, for the first time in the country's history, two cabinet ministers have died in a helicopter crash, together with six other people.
The entire country was thrown into mourning, with many Ghanaians in disbelief and all national flags flying at half-mast.
The news of the crash was reported by international media, leading to tributes from leaders across the world.
