A helicopter has been engulfed in flames and burned beyond recognition after crashing into a tree at Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region. The tragic incident occurred on the morning of Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
The aircraft, which reportedly flies the Accra–Obuasi route every Wednesday, went down under unclear circumstances.
Initial observations suggest that four people may have been on board, as dismembered body parts were recovered from the crash site. However, their identities have not yet been confirmed.
While the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, Mr Baah noted that poor weather conditions could have been a contributing factor.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Armed Forces has, in a statement issued today, confirmed that the Helicopter which was on its way to Obuasi, cannot be found on its radar.
It said the Helicopter had 3 crew members and five passengers. The occupants were said to be attending an event in Obuasi. The programme was the launch of the government’s Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP), a flagship initiative designed to transform Ghana’s artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector.
