It is unclear who owns the helicopter and the gold. What is the meaning of that? The Obuasi gold mine is for the government isn't it?

Anglogold have a 50-year lease on Obuasi gold fields, with Ghana gov't a minority shareholder.

It is the richest gold mine in the world, and this is why it can afford to build its own airport whence the gold it extracts is ferried abroad.

The question is why have we allowed Anglogold to make massive profits from our gold to our detriment?

Let us prepare to take over the mine when their lease expires. We can run the mine profitably and use profits for national development.

Enough is enough!

I agreed with you. Our country has all the natural resources and we are the poorest in the world. The government should take over and use the money to build our country.

We never operated out mines at a profit under government control. The Ghanaians steal the gold n complain like hell about everything. Just visit Obuasi.

Ghanaians are without light, water, schools, hospitals, roads etc. People are taking away their gold and all they say is "God Will Punish Them". The same thing happened in far away Turkey and nobody claimed ownership till date. Sit down and give everything to God. Poverty will kill all of you. Whiles politicians connive with foreigners to steal your wealth.

A clear means to steal a chunk of the gold. These people will use any means to get money for their 2016 campaign. Juloi.

There is a rat in this matter and it doesn't look good for Ghanaians concerning especially the gold. The story says the helicopter crashed in a thick forest and it was even difficult for the fire officers to travel to the destination. So how did National security officials get to the people and the cargo aka gold in the very thick forest? Who were those on board the helicopter? We are being told of the pilot Flt Lieutenant Oppong(rtd), so who were the other two on board the flight? Did National security get to the crashed helicopter and cargo in the thick forest through the same means by which the fire service personnel were trying to use to get to the crashed helicopter and cargo and everything on board? So who owns the helicopter and the gold and everything on board the crashed helicopter? What caused the crash? Was it really a crash judging from the minor injuries the passengers on board and the pilot suffered in the 'crash'? Where folks, is the gold from the Obuasi mines?
