Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has called on Ghanaians to exercise restraint and compassion in the wake of the tragic military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including two ministers of state.
In a statement shared on social media, Sam George appealed to the public to refrain from circulating disturbing images and videos from the crash site.
“I plead with you to show some restraint and decorum in these trying moments,” he wrote.
“Let us have respect for the families of the departed and stop spreading those unwholesome videos. I beg you all to show some empathy and humanity.”
His plea follows the fatal crash in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, August 6, which killed Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, and six others, including military officers.
As the nation mourns, the minister urged citizens to uphold dignity and empathy in honour of those who lost their lives.
