A helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, claimed the lives of eight people, including top Ghanaian government officials. But one minister narrowly escaped — all because of a last-minute meeting.
Deputy Director-General of the National Service Authority, Fuseini Donkor, revealed on TV3’s NewDay that Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak was initially set to be the fifth passenger aboard the ill-fated Z-9 military helicopter.
