Ghana was plunged into mourning on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, following a series of tragic accidents that shook the nation.
Chief among them was a military helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight high-profile officials, including the Minister for Defence, Dr. Omane Boamah, and Minister for Environment, Science and Innovation, Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed.
The officials were reportedly en route to Obuasi for a state program targeting illegal mining (galamsey) operations when their aircraft went down.
As the country was reeling from the loss, reports of another deadly road accident allegedly happening on the Ejisu-Konongo (Kubease) road, which also claimed several lives emerged.
Amidst the confusion, some media outlets, including Joy News, mistakenly reported that a vehicle belonging to 2M Express Ltd, a major player in Ghana’s transport industry, was involved in the crash.
However, 2M Express has swiftly and strongly denied these claims in a press release issued late Wednesday night.
The company clarified that none of its buses was involved in the said accident and described the reports as false and misleading.
In their statement, 2M Express emphasized that the vehicle involved in the accident was not part of the 2M Express fleet and that the registration number of the crash vehicle (GJ 2206-21) does not belong to 2M Express.
The company however expressed heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the accident and reassured the public of its strict commitment to safety and operational excellence.
It also called for responsible journalism, warning that false reports can damage reputations and cause unnecessary distress, especially in moments of national tragedy.
