00:01Ghana's ministers of defence and environment were killed alongside the vice-chair of the ruling party and a top national security adviser on Wednesday when a helicopter they were travelling in crashed in the northwest of the country.
00:15The Ghanaian military said the aircraft took off in the morning from the capital Accra and was heading northwest into the interior when it went off the radar. The wreckage was later found in the Adansi area of Ashanti region.
00:30He has left a legacy of honesty, integrity, and public service. These are the few takeaways that I want us to always remember him for. He was incorruptible. You cannot see that scar on him. Very dedicated to Islam and very true to his words.
00:47So we've lost a lot. It's a pain. And words cannot describe how we're feeling right now. But one thing that I used to confront myself with is that we will all go.
01:00Monas gathered at the late defence minister's residence as well as at the party's headquarters and Ghana's government described the crash as a national tragedy because of the accident was not immediately known and the military said an investigation was underway.
