Ghana’s Ministry of the Interior has confirmed reports of a terrorist attack in Titao, Burkina Faso, involving a truck carrying tomato traders from Ghana.
In a statement signed by the Minister for the Interior and National Security, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, the government described the incident as disturbing and raised concerns about the safety of those on board. The Ministry indicated that the truck transporting Ghanaian traders was caught up in the attack.
Authorities say Ghana’s Embassy in Burkina Faso has begun engaging local officials to gather further details and verify the identities of any Ghanaians affected. The public will be updated as more information becomes available.
The incident comes amid heightened insecurity across parts of the Sahel, where terrorist attacks have grown increasingly frequent in recent years.
