It’s a struggle to find the right words, but all we can say is that we pray God’s strength sustains the families. It’s unimaginable how they’re feeling. Even for us, it’s hard to put into words the pain of seeing our sister in this state.
The families of Dr. Omane Boama, Mutala Mohammad, Dr. Sarpong… it’s all so sad. You go out to serve your nation, expecting to return, but today… it’s just been a heartbreaking day.” He sadly mentioned.

He expressed shock upon receiving the distressing news, which cast a pall over the 2nd Garrison.
“Today has been a somber Wednesday for Ghana, and this Garrison is no exception. It was a devastating day when I received the news, and I’m sure we all share the same sentiment. Our sister is understandably distraught, and we’re doing our best to offer comfort.
Given her husband’s involvement in the accident, the pain is even more profound. We appreciate the Regional Minister, the Garrison Commander, and all of you who’ve come to lend a supportive hand in consoling her.” He said.
Flying Officer Ampadu was one of 8 who died in the crash.
