Ghanaian Fire Service Officials Deployed To Retrieve Corpses From Crashed Helicopter
Authorities are yet to provide further details about the cause of the crash.
Three persons are now feared dead after a helicopter crashed at the Oninku Drive School Park in Tema Community One, near the central business district of the city.
According to the report published on March 16 by the Ghana News Agency (GNA), personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service were at the scene working to retrieve bodies from the wreckage of the aircraft.
Mr. Ahmed Abdullia, the Assemblyman for the Kwesi Plange Electoral Area, said no students were injured in the incident.
Emergency responders from the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Police Service had retrieved two charred bodies from the wreckage as rescue operations continued at the crash site.
Authorities are yet to provide further details about the cause of the crash.
Earlier in August 2025, a helicopter crash led to death of all eight people on board.
Those that died included the nation’s defence and environment ministers, according to Ghana’s government.
Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed were among the victims of the crash in the southern Ashanti region of the country, said Julius Debrah, chief of staff to President John Mahama, on Wednesday.
“The president and the government extend their condolences and solidarity to the families of our comrades and soldiers who fell in their service to the nation,” said Debrah.
Also among the victims were Alhaji Mohammad Muniru Limuna, deputy national security coordinator and former minister of agriculture, and Samuel Sarpong, vice chairman of Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.
Boamah was helming Ghana’s defence ministry at a time when armed groups across its northern border in Burkina Faso had become increasingly restive.
As of the time of this report, the Ghanian government has yet to release the identities of those who were aboard the ill fated helicopter.
