They include Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, the Minister of Defence; Alhaji Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, an MP for Tamale Central and the Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation.
Among the confirmed deceased were the Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator and former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Alhaji Limuna Mohammed Muniru, along with Dr. Samuel Sarpong, the Second National Vice Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress and a former Ashanti Regional Minister.
The others include Samuel Aboagye, a former NDC parliamentary candidate for the Obuasi East Constituency and Deputy Coordinator of NADMO, Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
Two of the deceased, Dr. Murtala and Alhaji Muniru, were buried on Sunday at the Military Cemetery in Accra, following Islamic customs.
