Tribute to Fallen Heroes: CEO Of Okadamoto Mohammed Sumaila Pays Respects to Z-9 Helicopter Crash Victims
Chief Executive Officer for Okada Motto Ghana, Mohammed Sumaila has extended his deepest condolences to the families of the eight souls who perished in the tragic helicopter crash on August 6th.
According to him, the news of their passing deeply disturbed his night making difficult to sleep.
“I found myself reflecting on the fragility of life and the painful reality that even those who dedicate themselves to serving our nation can be taken from us so suddenly”.
Among the departed were brilliant minds and devoted patriots. Dr. Edward Omane Boamah was someone I admired greatly. His intellect, his clarity in argument, and his unwavering commitment to Ghana made him a figure worth listening to and learning from. To think that this is how his journey ends, it is truly heartbreaking, he said.
“As a Muslim, I believe that life and death are in the hands of God. He gives, and He takes, and we do not question His will. But the pain of this loss is profound”.
These were young, vibrant individuals who had so much more to offer. Their absence leaves a void not just in government, but in the hearts of all Ghanaians, he stated.
On behalf of Okada Motto Ghana, we join the entire nation in mourning. We stand in solidarity with the families of the victims, and especially with the First Family. I can only imagine the weight on the President’s shoulder losing two key members of his cabinet, his Minister of Defence and Minister of Environment, in one tragic moment.
In addition we also remember Murtala Mohammed, a man I knew personally. A brilliant thinker, deeply religious, and proud of his northern heritage. Our shared faith and background make this loss even more personal. Ghana has lost not just leaders, but brothers.
May their souls rest in perfect peace. And may their families find strength in the love and unity of our nation.
