Groupe Nduom, a multinational conglomerate with diverse business interests across various sectors, has joined many Ghanaians to lay flowers in honour of the eight victims of the recent military helicopter crash.
Leading the tribute in memory of the eight fallen heroes, the President of Groupe Nduom, Ghana, Dr Nana Kweku Nduom, expressed profound shock and sorrow following last Wednesday’s helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region that claimed the lives of eight people including Defence Minister, Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah and Environment Minister, Alhaji Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed.
Accompanied by some top management of his outfit, Dr Kweku Nduom extended the company’s deepest condolences to the bereaved families and President John Dramani Mahama.
The tribute, which took place on Friday, August 8, 2025, was part of a series of activities to mourn the deceased and show solidarity with their families.
The nation has been in a state of grief since a Ghana Armed Forces Z-9 helicopter crashed on August 6, 2025, killing all eight people on board, including two cabinet ministers.
In response, the government declared a three-day national mourning period that began on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
During this period, all national flags were flown at half-mast to honour the memory of the deceased.
The flower-laying ceremony, which began on the second day of mourning at the Jubilee House in Accra, has since attracted a steady stream of mourners.
The deceased persons honoured were: Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Minister of Defence; Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister for Environment, Science and Technology; Muniru Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator and Samuel Aboagye, a former parliamentary candidate.
The rest were: Dr Samuel Sarpong, Vice-Chairman of the NDC; Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, a military officer; Flying Officer Twum-Ampadu, a military officer, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah, also a military officer.
A state funeral is scheduled for Friday, August 15, 2025, at the Black Star Square.
