President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday, February 18, visited two victims of the Burkina Faso terrorist attack currently on admission at the 37 Military hospital in Accra.

The survivors were among Ghanaian tomato traders on board a truck, which was ambushed by armed bandits, who lined up men on board and massacred them before setting the vehicle ablaze.

President Mahama, who was accompanied by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, commiserated with them and assured them their bills would be absorbed by the government.
