Breaking News: John Dumelo — The Actor Who Invests in Ghana and Changes Lives 4
Accra, August 10, 2025 — The National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah (aka “General Mosquito”), was visibly emotional during a visit to the family of the late Dr. Samuel Sarpong in Juaben, Ashanti Region, following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed his life.
According to Citi Newsroom, Mr. Nketiah broke down in tears as he remembered Dr. Sarpong—his longtime friend and party Vice Chairman—especially poignant given that Dr. Sarpong had been scheduled to replace him on the ill-fated flight. He reflected on their decades-long friendship, saying, “He sacrificed his life for me. He was very loyal…I truly appreciate him.”
Dr. Sarpong’s appointment as Board Chairman of the Cocoa Processing Company had been finalized that very morning before the crash, Mr. Nketiah revealed, underscoring the tragic timing of the event.

The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC) is appealing to residents in Adansi–Akrofuom who may have removed items from the crash site of the military helicopter on August 6 to return them immediately. The council says even small components—such as metals, screws, circuit boards, and drives—are needed to aid ongoing investigations.

In a statement dated August 9, 2025, signed by Ashanti Regional Minister Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the ARCC announced that individuals who voluntarily return any retrieved items by close of business on Monday, August 11, 2025, will be eligible for a cash reward . However, those found in possession of such materials after the deadline will be deemed criminals and could face prosecution under the full rigours of the law.
The ARCC encourages anyone with recovered items to submit them to local authorities, including Unit Committees, Assembly Members, Municipal or District Chief Executives, or members of the investigative team stationed at the scene.
This effort comes in the wake of the tragic crash on August 6, 2025, in which all eight occupants—including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed—lost their lives.

Accra, Ghana — August 8, 2025 — Hours before he died in a military helicopter crash near Obuasi on 6 August, Sergeant Ernest Nii Addo Mensah posted a short, urgent message urging forgiveness and reflection — words that have resurfaced and are now being shared widely as the nation mourns.
Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah’s final message surfaces after Obuasi helicopter crash 20
The Z-9 Ghana Air Force helicopter carrying eight people — including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment, Science and Technology Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed — went down in the Adansi Akrofuom (Sikaman) area of the Ashanti region on the morning of 6 August 2025, killing everyone on board. The government and the Ghana Armed Forces have confirmed the deaths and described the incident as a national tragedy.
“Clear your heart”
Screenshots and video clips of Sergeant Mensah’s last post, circulated on social media and picked up by local news outlets, show him exhorting people to resolve grudges and reconcile with those they have wronged. Media outlets quoting the message report he wrote in part:
“Call them and forgive them as a matter of urgency. Clear your heart of all grudges. The signs of the imminent Rapture is too evident.”
The post has been shared widely on Facebook and Instagram by citizens, faith leaders and news pages, and has been cited in obituaries and tributes to the young airman. Several local outlets that published the excerpt noted how the words have prompted reflection about the fragility of life among many Ghanaians.
Who was on the helicopter
Authorities say the helicopter departed Kotoka International Airport in Accra at about 9:12 a.m. and was bound for Obuasi for an event on tackling illegal small-scale mining. On board were five passengers — including the two ministers and senior government and security officials — and three Ghana Air Force crew members: Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin (Twum) Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Nii Addo Mensah. All eight occupants were confirmed dead.
Official response and investigation
The Ghana Armed Forces and the Presidency immediately launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Chief of Staff Julius Debrah described the loss as a “national tragedy,” and President John Mahama declared a period of national mourning while suspending official engagements. An inter-agency team, including the Ghana Armed Forces and the Ghana National Fire Service, was assembled to investigate the accident.
Search teams recovered the helicopter wreckage at the crash site; later statements from the Ashanti Regional Minister confirmed that the helicopter’s flight recorder (“black box”) had been found and recovered to assist investigators. Officials said the recorder will be analysed as part of the inquiry into what caused the aircraft to crash.
Family reaction
Relatives of the crew have begun to speak publicly. In interviews with local media, Sergeant Mensah’s brother described the family’s grief and paid tribute to the airman’s character and faith. Local reports noted that Sergeant Mensah had married recently, and his sudden death has prompted an outpouring of sympathy across social media and within the armed forces community.
National mourning and next steps
Parliament and political parties released statements expressing condolences, and government delegations visited families of the victims in Accra and the Ashanti region. Officials reiterated that the black box and other evidence will be central to determining whether the crash was caused by mechanical failure, human error, weather or some other factor; results of the technical investigation are expected when analysis is complete.

Adansi Brofoyeduru, Ashanti Region — A tragic scene unfolded earlier today in the quiet community of Adansi Brofoyeduru as a suspected aircraft crash triggered a massive fire outbreak, leaving at least four people feared dead and several others injured.

According to eyewitnesses, a loud explosion was heard around midday, followed by thick plumes of black smoke rising into the sky. Residents rushed toward the source, only to discover what appeared to be the burning wreckage of an aircraft engulfed in flames amidst nearby structures and vegetation.
Local authorities have yet to confirm the exact type of aircraft involved—whether it was military, private, or commercial. However, unconfirmed reports suggest it may have been a light aircraft or drone that lost control and plummeted to the ground, causing widespread panic and destruction in its wake.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene to combat the blaze and assist victims. Despite their rapid response, the fire reportedly claimed the lives of at least four individuals, with others battling severe burns and trauma.
District Chief Executive (DCE) for Adansi South has described the incident as “devastating” and confirmed that an emergency task force is working alongside aviation and security experts to investigate the cause of the crash and assess the extent of the damage.
“We’re doing everything possible to secure the area, account for victims, and ensure that residents are safe,” the DCE said in a brief press statement.
The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has also been alerted and is expected to release a statement after initial assessments. Meanwhile, rescue efforts continue as investigators comb the wreckage for clues.

The real-life legal case involving Thomas Partey is ongoing, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This write-up does not confirm the authenticity of any CCTV footage, nor should it be interpreted as a verdict or statement of guilt.
London – The football world stands stunned as new developments in the ongoing legal saga involving Ghanaian international and former Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey, take center stage again. This time, not in a court document, but through what sources claim to be CCTV video evidence allegedly captured in luxury hotels across London and Madrid.
The CCTV video evidence of former Arsenal player Thomas Partey with the ladies in hotels might be serious 26
On a cold afternoon in late July 2025, whispers started emerging from inside the Metropolitan Police’s evidence unit: “There’s video.” The statement was brief, but it set the tone for what would follow—a leaked report suggesting investigators had retrieved hotel surveillance footage that could play a crucial role in the sexual assault and rape allegations leveled against the football star.
According to a source close to the case, the footage reportedly shows Thomas Partey accompanying at least two different women into hotel suites on separate nights in 2021 and 2022. While entering a hotel room with someone is not a crime, prosecutors argue that the behavior leading up to and following the interactions might raise critical questions regarding consent and the allegations.
One of the complainants, known legally as Complainant 1, has stated that while they had agreed to meet for consensual sex, what transpired during the encounter—specifically the alleged anal penetration without consent—was never part of their agreement. Investigators believe the hotel cameras may not capture everything that happened inside, but the demeanor, sequence of events, and potential inconsistencies between Partey’s statement and the footage might influence the case.
Insiders familiar with the defense say the footage actually supports Partey’s version of the story. His legal team maintains that the footballer did nothing wrong and that the women involved had mutual agreements and no objections during the interactions. His team is expected to challenge the admissibility of some of the footage, claiming privacy violations and lack of context.
Meanwhile, social media is ablaze with speculation, debates, and divided opinions. Some fans are heartbroken, asking how a role model could be involved in such accusations. Others believe the timing and nature of the case suggest a potential financial and reputational setup against one of Ghana’s most iconic players.
The trial is expected to continue in the coming weeks, and should the CCTV footage be officially admitted as evidence, it could swing the scale of justice either way.
As of now, Thomas Partey remains out on bail and continues to deny all allegations. His future—on and off the pitch—hangs delicately in the balance, while the world watches, one frame at a time.
