Ghana’s Defence, Environment Ministers Die in Tragic Helicopter Crash

Accra, August 6 | Nigeria TV Info — Ghana is in mourning following the tragic deaths of two top government officials in a helicopter crash on Wednesday, the presidency confirmed.

Ghana’s Defence Minister, Edward Omane Boamah, and the Environment Minister were among the five passengers aboard a military helicopter that dropped off radar earlier in the day, alongside three crew members.
