Speaking as Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces at an interfaith funeral service at Independence Square on Friday, August 15, 2025, Mr. Mahama said the fallen servicemen embodied dedication and professionalism, and their loss was a tragedy for the entire country.
Those honoured were Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, promoted to Wing Commander; Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, promoted to Flight Lieutenant; and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah, promoted to Flight Sergeant.
The ceremony brought together government officials, the military high command, bereaved families, and mourners from across Ghana.
