The Government of Ghana is today August 10, 2025 holding the final funeral rites for the late Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, and Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Alhaji Muniru Mohammed.
The two were among eight prominent Ghanaians who died in the August 6, 2025, military helicopter crash at Adansi Akrofuom in the Ashanti Region.
The ceremony, taking place at the Forecourt of the State House and subsequently at the Military Cemetery, will draw high-profile dignitaries, including government officials, Members of Parliament, party leaders, traditional rulers, and members of the diplomatic corps.
