Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, a prominent prophet in Ghana, has advised his colleagues in the faith to exercise caution and restraint in the manner they deliver national prophecies.
He believes that the delivery of prophecies in the country warrants a closer look, emphasising that the manner of delivery does not define a prophet’s stature or credibility in the prophetic sphere.
Apostle Amoako Attah’s message comes amid the tragic loss of eight lives, including top government officials and military personnel who were on board military helicopter Z-9, which crashed en route to Obuasi, resulting in the deaths of all on board.
Following the incident, videos have surfaced on social media featuring prophecies that mentioned some of the crash victims. Prophet Nana Kwame for instance prophesied a helicopter crash in July 2025, which some believe was fulfilled in the August 6 crash that killed eight people.
Also, one Prophet Roja claimed to have foreseen danger for Defence Minister Omane Boamah, and urged him to contact him urgently. A day before the crash, he shared a video asking the minister to reach out, but his warning went unheeded.
Abel Tamunominabo Boma, also a prophet, claimed to have seen the Ghanaian flag on a casket and predicted the loss of a valuable leader, although his prophecy mentioned a female leader, which doesn’t match the crash victims.
Abeiku Adams Ekumfi, is also on record to have predicted a national tragedy on August 6, 2025, and shared his prophecy just days before the crash. He has now predicted another tragic incident on August 9.
During the wreath-laying ceremony for the crash victims at the Jubilee House forecourt on Friday, August 8, 2025, TV3’s Christian Yalley spoke with Apostle Amoako Attah about the delivery of prophetic messages involving public officials.
The prophet emphasised the need for moderation and humanity in delivering such prophecies, advising fellow men of God to exercise caution and empathy during sensitive moments.
“From now on, my fellow prophets must understand how to present a national message effectively. The packaging is crucial. Picking a point from someone’s message doesn’t necessarily make you a major prophet. When God gives us a message, the way and manner we deliver it will determine whether people accept or reject it,” he remarked.
The crash occurred in a densely forested part of the Adansi Akrofuom district in the Ashanti region where all eight occupants of the military aircraft were killed.
They included Ghana’s Minister of Defence, Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah; Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed; Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Muniru Mohammed; former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye; and NDC Vice Chairman, Samuel Sarpong.
The flight crew—Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah—also died in the crash.
The helicopter was en route to Obuasi for an official anti-illegal mining assignment when it reportedly went off radar and crashed with no survivors.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, has reacted to the incident through a statement it released on Thursday, August 7, mourning the loss and calling for national prayer.
“We ask all Ghanaians to pray for them. We are shocked to lose such brilliant minds all at once,” the bishops said.
They described the victims as “men of proven commitment, servants of the state, politicians, technocrats, and gallant officers of the Ghana Armed Forces who gave their lives in the service of the Republic, its institutions, and the people.”
“Their sudden and untimely passing is not only a blow to their families and friends, but also a great loss for the nation.”
President John Mahama, has, meanwhile, declared three days of national mourning as investigations into the cause of the crash continue.
