Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has extended his deepest condolences to President John Dramani Mahama, and the people of Ghana, following the tragic military helicopter crash
The incident occurred Wednesday, August 6, at Adansi in the Ashanti Region.
In a message to President Mahama, President Boakai expressed profound shock and sorrow over the incident, which claimed the lives of several high-ranking Ghanaian officials, including the Dr Edward Omane Boamah, Minister of Defense; Dr Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister of Environment, Science and Technology; as well as other government officials and members of the Ghana Armed Forces.
“It is with profound shock and deep sorrow that we received the tragic news of the military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region,” President Boakai stated.

“This devastating loss transcends the borders of Ghana and is felt deeply by the Liberian people,” he added.
President Boakai fondly recalled the recent presence of Minister Boamah in Liberia during the nation’s Independence Day celebrations, where he stood in solidarity with the Liberian people.
“Only days ago, Minister Boamah graced our national celebrations with warmth, solidarity, and the unmistakable spirit of African brotherhood,” the Liberian Leader reflected.
He emphasized that Minister Boamah’s visit symbolized the strength and enduring bond between Liberia and Ghana — a relationship founded on mutual respect, shared values, and a common vision for the progress of the African continent.
“On behalf of the Government and People of the Republic of Liberia, and in my own name,” President Boakai continued, “I extend our deepest condolences to Your Excellency, the Government and People of Ghana, and especially to the bereaved families who are enduring unimaginable grief at this time.”

President Boakai concluded his message with words of unity and remembrance: “Liberia mourns alongside Ghana. We grieve not only the loss of leaders, but of cherished brothers — partners in progress whose lives were committed to the service of their people. May their memories live on in the hearts of all who knew them, and may their service continue to inspire generations to come.”
