Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his entourage who travelled to the U.S.A for the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, escaped death by the whiskers following a mid-air fault as they returned to Accra.

ClassFMonline.com sources say one of the engines of the presidential jet developed a fault after take-off.

The aircraft was assisted to land after Mayday calls.

The president and his entourage are safe but will be travelling on a different plane from Washington to Ghana.

This is not the first time Ghana’s presidential jet has developed a fault.

In March 2015, it caught fire while attempting to take off from the Kotoka International Airport.

Also on 5 December 2014, it developed a fault while flying President John Mahama, delaying his appearance at the 30th National Farmers Day celebrations in the Western Region.
