President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, visited two survivors of the recent terrorist attack in Burkina Faso who are receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital.
The survivors were among a group of Ghanaian tomato traders travelling on a truck that was ambushed by armed bandits. The attackers reportedly lined up the men on board, killed them, and set the vehicle ablaze.
Accompanied by the Chief of Staff, Mr. Julius Debrah, President Mahama commiserated with the victims and assured them that the government would fully cover their medical bills.
The President, who had earlier undertaken an official assignment in Takoradi, proceeded directly to the hospital upon arrival in Accra to interact with the survivors and obtain first-hand information about the incident.
Seven Ghanaians who lost their lives in the attack have since been buried.
The survivors were airlifted back home by the Ghana Armed Forces and are currently receiving counselling and other necessary support. Those who sustained injuries remain under medical care.
