The Chinese Community in Ghana has cautioned against false narratives on the helicopter that was involved in the crash at Adansi Akrofuom in Ashanti, leading to the death of eight persons on August 6, 2025.
According to the Chinese Community, various commentaries on the helicopter (Z9), Chinese-made, in the service of the Ghana Armed Forces, being circulated were false and disparaging, as the comments regarding the incident were being peddled without any scientific basis.
The Chinese Community, through their lawyers, DKAM Consult, in a letter to the media, is calling on the public to desist from spreading false and unfounded information regarding the said Z9 helicopter in a manner that portrays it as a sub-standard or inferior aircraft supplied from China to the Ghana Armed Forces for use in their operations.
In the cautionary letter dated August 25, 2025, the lawyers said: ''The findings from the examination of the Black Box have not, as of this date, been made public by the military authorities who operate and utilize the Z9 helicopter for such bad and disparaging commentaries to be made about it. ''China has maintained long-standing and cordial relations with the Republic of Ghana, resulting in cooperation across various fields, including economic collaboration and assistance,'' it said.
