In a press release issued the same day, the Embassy said it stands in grief and solidarity with the Government and people of Ghana during this difficult time.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Government, families and friends of the victims,” the statement said.

The Embassy noted that among the victims were honourable public servants, including two ministers, with whom it had worked closely.

“Their dedication to Ghana’s development, their vision, and their personal warmth will be deeply missed,” it added.
