The King and Overlord of the Gonja Traditional Area, Yagbonwura Bi-kunuto Jewu Soale I, together with his chiefs and subjects, will on Sunday, August 24, 2025, host the final funeral rites of the late Sandape-Wura Buwulonso I, Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru Limuna, at the Astro Turf Park in Damongo.
The ceremony will commence at 9:00 a.m.
Alhaji Muniru, who carried both political influence and the revered traditional title of Sandape-Wura Buwulonso I, was one of the victims of the helicopter crash that occurred on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region.
Among the victims of the infamous crash were the Minister of Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah; the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed; NDC Vice Chairman, Samuel Sarpong; and former parliamentary candidate, Samuel Aboagye. The crew on board, including Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah, also did not survive the crash.
The funeral invitation, issued under the authority of the Yagbonwura, calls on the Gonja people, political leaders, and the nation at large to gather in Damongo to honor the memory of Alhaji Muniru.
