Leaders of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and members of the Minority Caucus in Parliament have paid a solemn visit to the founder of the Hebron Prayer Camp, following the tragic death of his two sons in last week’s fatal aircraft crash in Tema.
The delegation, which visited the bereaved family on Saturday, March 21, was led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, representing NPP flagbearer Mahamudu Bawumia, who is currently out of the country.
The visit comes days after a microlight aircraft crashed at Tema Community 1 on March 16, killing two people on board later identified by their family as Captain Frank Amoanyi Donkor and Elijah Ofori Donkor, sons of the respected cleric and founder of the Hebron Prayer Camp.
The NPP delegation, which included key party figures such as Fred Oware (Campaign Manager to Dr. Bawumia), Frederick Opare Ansah, and National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye, expressed deep sorrow over the incident and extended condolences to the grieving family.
Addressing the family, the Minority Leader conveyed sympathies on behalf of Dr. Bawumia and the entire party, describing the deaths as a painful national loss.
He noted that the NPP stands in solidarity with the bereaved family and assured them of the party’s unwavering support during this difficult period.
The Hebron Prayer Camp founder, known to have close ties with the NPP and to have previously hosted Dr. Bawumia at his church, received the delegation in an atmosphere marked by grief and mourning.
Family members, including the pastor’s wife, were visibly distraught as sympathisers gathered to offer comfort.
Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, under whose constituency the prayer camp operates, expressed personal concern over the tragedy. Having maintained a close relationship with the church, he pledged continued support to the family and urged others to rally around them in their time of need.
