All eight bodies from the Ghana Air Force helicopter crash are now being transported from the Dampia Range Forest Reserve near Brofoyedru Sikaman in the Adansi Asokwa Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
There is a strong security presence at the community, with military and police units deployed to manage the retrieval operation and maintain order.
Numerous vehicles, including ambulances and support units, can be seen leaving the area.
Local community members and residents have gathered nearby, drawn by the unfolding scene, despite restricted access.
Many onlookers were visibly emotional as the body bags were moved to waiting vehicles.
Earlier reports confirmed that the helicopter carrying five government officials and three crew members crashed while en route from Accra to Obuasi.
All on board perished in what officials have termed a national tragedy.
The victims include Defense Minister Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, NDC Vice-Chair Samuel Sarpong, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Muniru Mohammed, and former MP Samuel Aboagye.
The Ghana Air Force personnel crew members who perished were Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Mane-Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
