President Mahama visits survivors of Burkina Faso terror attack at 37 military hospital
President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday, February 18, visited two survivors of the Burkina Faso terrorist attack who are currently receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
The victims were among a group of Ghanaian tomato traders traveling in a truck that was ambushed by armed bandits. Reports indicate that the attackers lined up the men, executed them, and set the vehicle ablaze.
Accompanied by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, President Mahama expressed his condolences to the survivors and assured them that all medical expenses would be fully covered by the government.
The President, who had been on official duty in Takoradi earlier that morning, rushed to the hospital immediately upon landing in Accra to obtain first-hand information about the tragic incident.
Seven Ghanaians who lost their lives in the attack have been laid to rest, while the survivors were safely transported back home by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). All survivors are receiving counselling and ongoing medical support, with those injured undergoing necessary treatment.
President Mahama’s visit highlights the government’s commitment to supporting citizens affected by acts of terrorism and ensuring their recovery and well-being.
