The St. James Old Boys Association (JOBA) has expressed their condolences to the bereaved families of the late Squadron Leader Peter Anala and the Ghana Armed Forces.
The late Sqn. Ldr. Anala perished with seven others, including the Minister for Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, and the Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, in a tragic crash which occurred in the Adansi Akrofuom District of the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, August 6.
“The late Sqn Ldr Anala was among the 2007 Year Group of the Abesim St James Seminary and Senior High School in the Bono Region”, the association indicated in a statement signed by Dr Adu Appiah-Kubi, its Global President.
The statement further said, “As proud ‘Ahotefoɔ’ (saints) and a devoted alumnus of St. James Seminary Senior High School, Sqn. Ldr. Anala exemplified our cherished motto of sincerity, fidelity, and perseverance”.
“His life reflected the discipline of a soldier, the heart of a servant leader, and the faith of a true Catholic gentleman. As a Squadron Leader, he embodied courage, precision, and an unwavering commitment to
Excellence”, it stated.
The Association stated that the late Sqn Ldr Anala “led with integrity, inspired his colleagues, and placed the safety and well-being of others above his own. Beyond his military service, he was an active member of the Catholic Church, offering his time, talent, and devotion to the mission of Christ and the welfare of the faithful”.
The JOBA fraternity fondly remembers his humility, professionalism, and infectious drive to serve both his country and his God, noting that he was a true Saint, steadfast in duty, loyal in friendship, and persevering in every challenge.
They extended their deepest condolences to the bereaved family, the Ghana Armed Forces, and the Catholic community, saying “we have lost not only a patriot and a brother but also a shining example of the values we uphold as Ahotefoɔ”.
The Association added that his sacrifice and legacy will be etched in the hearts of all who knew him, and that a funeral and memorial arrangements will be made to honour “our gallant brother will be announced in due course.
“Rest well, Saint. Your race is run; your crown awaits. May his noble soul rest in perfect peace.”
