Authorities in Kumasi have confirmed the arrest of a Brigadier General following investigations into a tragic military helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight Ghanaians. The incident, which sent shockwaves across the country, has raised serious concerns about safety protocols within the Ghana Armed Forces.
According to initial reports, the helicopter—on an official assignment—went down under circumstances still being pieced together by investigators. Eyewitnesses described a fiery explosion after the aircraft plummeted into a densely populated area, causing panic and sparking immediate rescue operations.
The detained Brigadier General is alleged to have played a role in operational oversights leading to the disaster. While the full details of his involvement remain undisclosed, security sources suggest the arrest is linked to questions over negligence and possible breaches of aviation procedures.
The Ghana Armed Forces have appealed for calm, assuring the public of a transparent probe to uncover the root causes of the accident. Families of the deceased have been promised state support as they mourn their loved ones.
This arrest marks a dramatic turn in what is fast becoming one of Ghana’s most high-profile military investigations in recent years.
