The Secretary General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has alleged that the August 6 helicopter crash at Adansi Akrofuom, which claimed the lives of eight prominent Ghanaians, was not a mere accident but part of a failed coup attempt targeting President John Dramani Mahama.
Koomson claimed the incident was orchestrated as part of a wider plan to destabilise the Mahama administration.
He argued that the professionalism and experience of the pilots made it difficult to accept that the crash occurred under normal circumstances. "It was a coup that failed because, despite the training of the pilots, they couldn't bring it under control," he alleged.
Koomson urged President Mahama to adopt stringent security measures similar to those implemented by Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, during periods when his leadership faced threats.
