FINAL FUNERAL RITES FOR CAPTAIN FRANK AMOANYI DONKOR, ELIJAH OFORI DONKOR, AT STATE HOUSE FORECOURT, ON MARCH 28
Today marks exactly one week since we lost our beloved sons in the tragic microlight aircraft crash at Tema.
With deep sorrow, yet in faith and gratitude to God, the Wettey and Donkor families announce the final funeral rites for Captain Frank Amoanyi Donkor and Elijah Ofori Donkor.
The final funeral rites will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Forecourt of the State House, Accra. The mortal remains of our dearly departed sons will be laid in state from 6am to 8am, after which the Burial Service will immediately commence.
In this moment of profound grief, the family expresses its sincerest appreciation to the President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, for his thoughtfulness and support in sending a delegation, led by the Chief of Staff, Hon. Julius Debrah, to commiserate with the families.
We are equally grateful to the Chief of Staff for approving the funeral service to be held at the Forecourt of the State House.
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, for personally commiserating with the families during this difficult period.
We further wish to thank the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for his support and for sending a high-powered delegation to mourn with us.
We are particularly grateful to the delegation, led by the Minority Leader, Hon. Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and Hon. Fredrick Opare Ansah, Campaign Manager for Dr. Bawumia.
We deeply appreciate the overwhelming love, prayers and support received from all Ghanaians. Your kindness and solidarity continue to give us strength in this time of grief.
All sympathisers, including the Clergy, members of the Diplomatic Corps, friends and well-wishers, are cordially invited to join us in giving our beloved sons a befitting farewell. May their souls rest in perfect peace.
