Submitting prophecies for review
The Presidency, in a statement on August 10, called on Christian prophets to submit prophecies of national interest to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations.
The statement explained that it wanted prophecies about political leaders, governance, and national security, among others, and called for prayers following the helicopter crash. It singled out the President, John Mahama, and all state institutions as targets for these prayers.
Details of the helicopter crash
Two cabinet ministers, Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment, Science and Technology Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, were among the eight who died in the helicopter crash at Adansi Akrofuom.
