“The school here is being constructed as part of a new system because the mayor wanted to develop this area. Construction had already started before this incident, but I hope it won’t affect the students. We did our best to ensure the kids are safe,” he noted.

At least two individuals, including a pilot on board, are feared dead following the crash.

The incident prompted an immediate response from the Ghana National Fire Service, who rushed to extinguish the flames.

With support from the Ghana Police Service, emergency personnel retrieved the charred bodies of the victims.
