Two sons of the founder of the Hebron Prayer Camp near Nsawam have been identified as the victims of Monday’s fatal aircraft crash at Tema, which claimed the lives of a pilot and his younger brother.
The victims have been named as Captain Frank Donkor, a distinguished pilot and instructor, and his sibling, who was travelling with him at the time of the incident.
The microlight aircraft, registered 9GADV, was flying from Ho to Accra when it went down near a daycare centre at Site 18 in Tema Community One on Monday afternoon.
The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority said the aircraft made its last radio contact at 1418 GMT, shortly before its expected arrival in Accra.
Emergency responders arrived quickly at the crash site after the aircraft came down at about 2:59pm. Firefighters from the Tema Metro Fire Station reached the scene within minutes and began rescue operations, but both occupants were found dead in the wreckage.
Senior officers from the Fire Service and the Police were present to coordinate the response and secure the area.
