How Muntaka narrowly escaped the deadly helicopter crash

On 6 August 2025, a Ghana Armed Forces Harbin Z-9 helicopter crashed near Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region. The tragedy claimed the lives of eight people—including Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed—as confirmed by multiple sources. No one on board survived. Among those originally scheduled to fly was Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak. The Deputy Director-General of the National Service Authority, Fuseini Donkor, revealed on TV3’s "NewDay" that Muntaka had been the fifth passenger booked on the flight. However, Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson intervened at the last moment, requesting Muntaka’s presence in Accra for an urgent meeting with immigration officials. As a result, Murtala Mohammed took his place aboard the chopper. If not for that critical change—prompted by Ato Forson’s insistence—Muntaka would have been among those on the ill-fated flight. This intervention inadvertently spared […]
