The Ghana Armed Forces has cautioned the media and public commentators against spreading unverified claims regarding the recent Air Force Z-9 helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region that killed eight people, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed.
In a press release, the GAF expressed concern over speculative reports and warned that such narratives could mislead the public and compound the grief of bereaved families.
The military has confirmed that a thorough investigation into the crash is underway, with plans to collaborate with international agencies if necessary, and urged the public to be wary of premature conclusions based on opinion, perceptions, and conjectures.
The GAF also thanked the government and the public for their support and honoured the deceased as patriots.
