The Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has expressed heartfelt sympathy to the Government of Ghana, the families of the victims, and the people of Ghana following the tragic loss of eight individuals in a military helicopter crash that occurred last Wednesday.

The flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been retrieved from the site of the crash which killed two ministers.

The helicopter had taken off from Accra, the capital, en route to a mining conference when it went “off the radar,” the armed forces said.
