“This is a moment of profound national grief,” Agyepong said. “We have lost courageous men; public servants and soldiers who dedicated their lives to the country’s peace and stability.”
Offering his condolences on behalf of himself, his family, and his campaign team, the former Press Secretary to President John Agyekum Kufuor extended sympathy to President John Mahama, the Government, the bereaved families, and the entire nation.
“I express my heartfelt condolences to the President, H.E. John Mahama, the government, the families of all who lost their lives, and to the Ghanaian populace. I mourn with all of you in this difficult time,” his statement read.
