a fault in mid-air. The 34-year-old Fokker 28 presidential jet,
carrying also top state officials, security details and journalists,
including Times Correspondent Samuel Amoako,
had to make an emergency landing at Kotoka International Airport.

The plain developed what aviation experts called a “pressurisation”.
The aircraft had covered only 20 minutes of the three-and-half hour journey
when the fault was detected and the pilots decided to return to Accra.
