The Member of Parliament for Tolon and First Deputy Minority Whip, Alhaji Habib Iddrisu, has officially written to President John Mahama, requesting details of the findings from the committee established to probe the fatal aircraft crash that claimed eight Ghanaian lives on August 6.
In a letter dated October 27, 2025, and addressed to the President, Mr. Iddrisu cited Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution and Section 18 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989), asking for a copy of the investigation report or an official update on the matter.
“The nation mourned together following this profound loss, recalling that on August 25, 2025, a committee of inquiry was established to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, with a promise that its findings would be made public within thirty days,” Mr. Iddrisu noted in his letter.
He stressed that Ghanaians have a right to know what caused the deaths of “such prominent figures and dedicated public servants,” urging the Presidency to release the full report or provide an update if the investigation remains ongoing.
“If the complete report is not yet available, I would appreciate it if you could release a partial or interim report. This would not only keep the public informed but also demonstrate the government’s commitment to transparency during this difficult time,” he appealed.
The tragic incident, which occurred on August 6, 2025, resulted in the deaths of senior government officials and military personnel, including Dr. Edward Omane Boamah (Minister for Defence), Alhaji Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed (Minister for Environment), and Alhaji Muniru Mohammed (Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator).
The rest are Dr. Samuel Sarpong (Vice Chairman, NDC), Mr. Samuel Aboagye (Former Parliamentary Candidate), Squadron Leader Peter Bafimi Anala, Flying Officer Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo.
