ACCRA, Ghana—The crash of a military helicopter in Ghana on Wednesday killed all eight people aboard including the West African country’s defense and environment ministers and other top officials, the government said.
The Ghanian military said the helicopter took off in the morning from the capital, Accra, and was heading northwest into the interior toward the gold-mining area of Obuasi in the Ashanti region when it went off the radar. The wreckage was later found in the Adansi area of Ashanti.
