The Chief of the Defence Staff, Lieutenant General William Agyapong, has expressed profound grief over the tragic August 6 helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight individuals, including senior government officials and military personnel.
Speaking at the funeral service on Friday, August 15, he described the loss as a heavy blow to the Ghana Armed Forces and the nation at large.
In a moving address, the CDS reflected on the irreplaceable contributions of the late Defence Minister, Dr.
Edward Omane Boamah, and the three gallant aircrew - Squadron Leader Peter Baafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manaen Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah - whose service, he said, epitomised excellence, dedication, and sacrifice.
