The Ghana Air Force personnel crew members who perished were Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Mane-Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
President John Dramani Mahama has since declared three days of national mourning, beginning Thursday, August 7, 2025, in honour of the eight victims.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 6, the President also announced the immediate suspension of all his scheduled activities and public engagements for the remainder of the week.
The Office of the Chief of Staff further directed that all national flags be flown at half-mast across the country until further notice, as Ghana comes to terms with the devastating loss.
