GPHA Flags Fly at Half-Mast in Honour of Military Crash Victims

The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) has joined the rest of the nation in mourning the tragic loss of eight lives—including two Ministers of State—who perished in the military helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, near Adansi Sikaman in the Ashanti Region.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Authority expressed deep sorrow and solidarity with the Presidency, the Ghana Armed Forces, the affected Ministries, and the bereaved families, describing the incident as a painful national tragedy.

“The Port Authority stands in solemn solidarity with the Presidency, the affected Ministries, the Ghana Armed Forces, and the bereaved families as the country comes to terms with this painful tragedy,” the statement read.

Flags at Half-Mast Across All GPHA Installations

As a mark of respect for the departed, GPHA announced that all national flags across its installations will fly at half-mast.

“In honour of their devoted service to the country, we are flying the national flag at half-mast across all our installations,” the Authority stated.

The statement concluded with a heartfelt tribute:

“May their souls rest in perfect peace, and may their families be comforted—today and always.”

The GPHA’s gesture adds to the growing wave of institutional tributes pouring in across the country as Ghana begins a three-day national mourning period declared by the Jubilee House.
