President John Dramani Mahama has visited two survivors of the recent terrorist attack in northern Burkina Faso, who are being treated at 37 Military Hospital, pledging full government support for their care.
The victims were part of a group of Ghanaian tomato traders ambushed by armed bandits while traveling in northern Burkina Faso. The attackers singled out men, killed several, and set their vehicle on fire.
Accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, President Mahama expressed condolences and assured the survivors that the government would cover all medical expenses.
Earlier on Wednesday, the President had been on official duties in Takoradi, but went directly to Accra to meet the victims and receive firsthand updates.
Seven Ghanaians died in the attack and have been laid to rest. The survivors were safely transported home by the Ghana Armed Forces and are receiving counselling and ongoing medical treatment.
