The victims included prominent figures such as Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, along with Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Alhaji Muniru Mohammed Limuna, NDC Vice-Chairman Samuel Sarpong, former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye, and three dedicated military officers: Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manaen Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
In a heartfelt statement, GOIL PLC expressed its deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and colleagues of the deceased, describing the loss as a “profound tragedy” that has touched the hearts of all Ghanaians.
