The Executive Director of Peace Watch Ghana, Madam Nyan konpa Daniels, is calling for a thorough investigation into the recent military helicopter crash, suggesting the possibility of sabotage.
Her demand follows the death of Defence Minister Dr Omane Boamah, who was reportedly investigating the disappearance of military ammunition.
According to Madam Daniels, the circumstances surrounding the crash “do not sound right,” and she believes authorities should “leave no stone unturned.”
She speculates that individuals within the military command may have orchestrated the crash to prevent the ongoing probe into the missing ammunition from becoming public.
Dr Boamah had confirmed in July 2025 that an investigation was underway into the transfer of military ammunition to the National Security Secretariat in 2024, which had gone unaccounted for.
He also revealed that the theft of ammunition had been discovered prior to the 2024 general elections. Daniels believes these investigations may have motivated some individuals to “tamper with” the helicopter.
Furthermore, she suggests that the removal of top military officers after the current government took office may have angered some, potentially leading to an act of revenge.
She emphasised the need for a non-political investigation, warning that politicising security agencies “exposes ourselves to danger.”
“I have been crying, asking questions, and speaking to myself, demanding answers,” Daniels said.
“The truth of the matter is that the helicopter crash must be investigated thoroughly. The two political parties, the NDC and the NPP, keep playing politics with our security agencies, especially the military and the police. I was alarmed when I heard some senior military officers had been removed.
“Some people are evil and will pat you on the back while plotting revenge. I am only expressing an opinion, so nobody should misconstrue what I am saying. If we take over government and do these things, we expose ourselves to danger.”
She continued, “For me, I suspect the plane may have been tampered with. All these prophets kept mentioning Omane Boamah, and the event he and the others were travelling to attend took long to plan, so some people may have taken the opportunity to tamper with the helicopter.
“He was investigating the missing ammunition at the GAF, a situation that may not have gone well with some people, so they took the opportunity to interfere with the aircraft.
“Omane Boamah was the Defence Minister and may have been blamed for supporting the President in removing them. Something may have gone on, and we want the investigation to be thoroughly done to reveal the true cause of the crash.”
