Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., on Friday, August 8, led members of his Cabinet to the Ghanaian Embassy in Congo Town to sign the Book of Condolence for high-ranking Ghanaian officials who died in a military helicopter crash in Ghana’s Ashanti Region on August 6.
The Liberian leader expressed “deepest sympathies” to Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, the bereaved families, and the people of Ghana, describing the tragedy as “a national loss felt across our shared West African family.”
Among the deceased were Defense Minister Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Alhaji Limuna Mohammed Muniru, National Democratic Congress Vice Chair Dr. Samuel Sarpong, former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye, and three Ghana Armed Forces crew members — Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manaen Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
President Boakai recalled that Minister Boamah had attended Liberia’s 178th Independence Day celebrations just days earlier, bringing “warmth, solidarity, and the spirit of African brotherhood” to the event.
“We stand shoulder to shoulder with Ghana in this time of grief. We join you in honoring the memories of these dedicated public servants. Their sacrifices will not be forgotten,” Boakai said.
