A delegation from the Adansi Traditional Council, led by the Adansihene’s Akwamuhene, Nana Kwadu Kwakye II, at the weekend visited the family of the late Samuel Aboagye, who died in a helicopter crash at his family house at Boete, in the Obuasi East Municipality of Ashanti region.
Nana Kwadu Kwakye conveyed the Adansihene’s condolence and that of the entire Adansiman to the family.
Nana Kwakye suggested that since Samuel Aboagye died while serving the country, the government should consider supporting his children, wife and the aged mother he left behind.
He noted that the youth could take inspiration from what the government will do to Samuel Aboagye’s sons and wife, to also aspire to serve their country to the best of their ability.
“It will not speak well for the government if children of Aboagye are seen roaming about aimlessly in the street and for that matter the government should come to their aid,” the Akwamuhene stated.
The BretuoAbusuapanin of Kwapia, Nana Amponsah Kyeremateng, on behalf of the family thanked Nananom for the visit. He also reiterated the call for government support for the late Aboagye’s wife, children and aged mother.
In a related development, a delegation of the government led by the Chairman of the NDC, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia were also at Samuel Aboagye’s family house to console them.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia outlined plans for the burial of the eight victims of the plane crash, stating that as National Heroes they will be buried in Accra.
He mentioned that government will provide a bus to convey members of Aboagye’s family to Accra on the burial day.
Samuel Aboagye’s mother, Madam Amma Adwubi was in tears and visibly disturbed, when the government delegation arrived, and she had to be consoled by family members.
