🇬🇭💔 Ghana in Tears — A Nation Brought to Its Knees
Today, we don’t just report news.
Today, we mourn.
On August 6, 2025, Ghana lost some of its brightest lights in a devastating military helicopter crash.
Among the eight souls lost were:
🕯️ Defense Minister Edward Omane Boamah
🕯️ Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed
🕊️ Along with brave crew and officials, all dedicated to serving their country until their very last breath.
The chopper vanished on its way from Accra to Obuasi, and was later found wrecked in the Ashanti Region. No survivors. No goodbyes. Just silence… and heartbreak.
This isn’t just Ghana’s loss — it’s humanity’s.
These were fathers, leaders, visionaries.
They stood for progress, for peace, for people. And now, they are gone.
💔 How do you heal from a wound this deep?
You don’t. You carry it. You remember. You honor.
🇬🇭 Let us unite in grief, in love, in prayer.
Let us stand with Ghana. Let the world pause and pay respect.
🕯️ Rest well, gallant sons of the soil. Your legacy lives
