Tema aircraft crash: Father recounts final moments with sons before tragedy
Elder Frank Kwabena Donkor, father of Frank Amoaning Donkor and Elijah Ofori Donkor, revealed he was on the phone with his sons just minutes before the fatal incident in Tema. He said, "Two of my sons were involved in a plane crash, and they both lost their lives." He also said his eldest son told him, "'Daddy wants to speak with you.' Elijah responded, 'Daddy, we'll talk when we land.'"
Elder Donkor recounted that his eldest son, a pilot instructor, had travelled to Ho on a professional assignment to help establish a pilot training and engineering school in collaboration with international partners. The son had gone to sign a multi-million-dollar contract and called his father shortly before beginning the return journey. They indicated they were about five minutes away from landing. After five minutes, attempts to reach them were unsuccessful. The aircraft they were travelling in from Ho crashed near a school in Tema two weeks ago.
The funeral will be held this Saturday at the State House in Accra. The president has made the venue available free of charge. Buses have also been arranged from Hebron and Sapeiman to convey mourners.
