After the solemn state funeral at Black Star Square, the nation’s fallen heroes from the August 6 military helicopter crash were laid to rest with full military honours at the Military Cemetery in Tse Addo.
The flag-draped caskets of the eight victims, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, and six others, were lowered into their graves to the mournful strains of the Last Post.
President John Mahama has already approved the posthumous promotion of the three Ghana Armed Forces personnel who perished in the August 6 helicopter crash.
Family members, dignitaries, and comrades from the Ghana Armed Forces stood in silence, many visibly moved, as the final salute echoed across the cemetery, bringing the three-day national mourning to a close.
