Assin Fosu (C/R) Aug 19, GNA – Okumanini Baffour Asare Kyeahene II, Paramount Chief of Affutuakwa Traditional Area, has sent a commiserated message to President John Dramani Mahama and families of the eight helicopter crash victims.
He said the tragic incident that happened on Wednesday, August 06, 2025 at Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region was a painful loss not only to the bereaved families but the entire nation.
The journey the eight gallant men embarked on, he pointed out, was to help fight a canker that had eaten deep into the fabric of the nation.
They must therefore be honoured for their courage, dedication and patriotism, Nana Kyeahene added.
“As we mourn, the nation should not forget that, we have a charge to keep our environment safe from illegal mining which is destroying our water bodies and our health.”
Nana Kyeahene said, it behooved on all well-meaning Ghanaians to rise up to safeguard the country’s natural resources and nurture it for posterity to ensure that the sacrifices made by the gallant heroes were not in vain.
To the affected families, he said though, what they had lost was irreplaceable, God would surely help fill the vacuum and all their dreams and aspirations would come to pass and never would they be afflicted again.
