Adansi Traditional Council urges govt to turn helicopter crash site into tourist centre

The Adansi Traditional Council has appealed to the government to develop the Sikaman Brofoyedru helicopter crash site in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region into a tourist attraction.

The call was made when members of the council visited the site to perform final cleansing rituals for those who assisted in retrieving the remains of the eight military officers who lost their lives in the crash.

Speaking to Adom News correspondent Isaac K. Normanyo, the Adansi Akyeamehene, Nana Kusi Anowuo, explained that the rituals were necessary to protect those who took part in the recovery exercise from any spiritual consequences.

He emphasized that beyond its spiritual and cultural significance, the site carries historic value and should be preserved as a national heritage site.

“A monument should be erected here to honor the memory of the fallen eight and to serve as a reminder for future generations,” Nana Anowuo stated.

The council believes developing the site into a tourist centre will not only preserve history but also contribute to cultural tourism and local economic growth.
