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.

Ghana held the final day of national mourning on Saturday (August 9) for Defense Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, who died in a military helicopter crash earlier this week along with six others.
