Leila Djansi, a filmmaker from Ghana, has cautioned the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to forget the relatives of the eight people who perished in the terrible disaster (helicopter crash).
She claims that they will pay a heavy price and that the ballot will serve as a reminder if the party ever forgets them.
Many lessons should be learned from the nation’s tragedy, according to the filmmaker, or else the next generation would face significant challenges.
Her opinion shared via social media read, “This helicopter tragedy exposed glaring lapses across multiple Ghanaian systems, chief among them, journalism.”
“At a time when the public needed clarity, we were fed fake news, contradictions, exaggerations, and outright lies. Not one dedicated news outlet created a reliable thread for verified updates. Instead, cameras were shoved into the faces of grieving widows and sobbing ministers, while irrelevant questions were lobbed at bystanders and neighbors. Sensationalism replaced substance. Lazy work ethics took the place of strategic, heroic reportage.”

According to her, she found herself turning to “People Magazine and even a U.S. congressman’s” social media page for credible details.”
“Then, from stage left, came Dr Frank Amoakohene. His consistent Facebook updates became the only reliable lifeline of information. But beyond that, I was struck by what he endured, especially the split-second decisions he had to make in a country and community woefully unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude.
“I wonder how he will carry this. I read that he identified bodies in the forest. That image will haunt him for years. I hope he receives therapy. I hope he is hugged often. I hope he finds a safe space to grieve, not only for the colleagues he lost, but for the moments he replays in his mind, wishing he could have done more. In the end, he emerged as the brave one.”

Leila mentioned that Ghana needs more than brave men, adding that it needs public servants willing to sacrifice, placing nation-building above V8s, appointments, and personal ambition.
“Every politician should have a ‘that could have been me’ moment that forces reflection and an honest interrogation of motives. Why are you really in power? If no lessons are learned from this insane tragedy, then subsequent generations should prepare for a miserable existence and experience.
“Dear NDC, Do not forget the families of the fallen. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. If you ever forget, you will be reminded by the ballot.”

Owusu Bempah Claims Early Warning Before Helicopter Crash
Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah, leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministry, said the deadly military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives could have been avoided if only his repeated warnings to authorities had been taken seriously.
Speaking to his congregation after the August 6, 2025, tragedy, Bempah revealed that he had “seen” the disaster in the spiritual realm months earlier and had urgently tried to alert high-ranking officials.
“I talked to the Archbishop and told him I have been trying to call, but I hardly get anyone. I called somebody for three months and informed him about a looming tragedy, but we couldn’t meet. I wanted to discuss with him so that we could see his bosses and find a way to deal with it, but he always had one excuse or the other to give me for three months and never showed up.”

According to the prophet, the situation became more pressing when his warnings specifically involved air travel. “I told Archbishop to inform Opanyin (Mahama) to avoid local flights or travelling by flights within the country, otherwise the news will be bad, and Archbishop is my witness,” he said.
Bempah insisted it would be wrong for anyone to suggest prophets failed to foresee the helicopter crash, pointing out that he had made every effort to prevent it but was met with indifference.
The crash, which occurred on a Wednesday afternoon, August 6, 2025, shocked the nation and reignited debate over the credibility of prophetic revelations.
Critics accused some religious figures of peddling superstition, while supporters claimed the tragedy validated their warnings.
Bempah remains adamant that his prophecy was genuine, stressing that government officials he contacted “did not show interest” in what he believed was a divine warning.
