Samuel Aboagye was due to visit his family in the U.S. before fatal crash

The late Samuel Aboagye—Acting Deputy Director-General of Operations at NADMO—had been eagerly preparing to reunite with his wife and child in the United States. This revealed heartbreak comes from Nii Lante Vanderpuye, former MP for Odododiodoo, who spoke of Aboagye as a beloved “son.” According to Vanderpuye, the pair had finalized travel plans over the weekend, with Aboagye set to bring parcels for Vanderpuye’s daughter, who is the same age as Aboagye’s child. Aboagye didn’t address Vanderpuye as “Honourable”—he simply called him “Daddy.” The fatal helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, robbed him of that journey and shattered the hopes of a young life soon to embrace its missing father.  Only a week prior, the two attended a funeral in Kumasi—a casual, somber gathering with no hint of impending finality. Vanderpuye reflected, “If Aboagye knew he was going to die […]
