Terror Attack: I stand in solidarity with UK – Mahama

Former president John Mahama is solidarising with UK after Monday’s terror attack in Manchester leaving 22 dead and over 50 injured.

The blast happened at 22:35 BST on Monday at the end of a pop concert by the US singer Ariana Grande.

Commiserating with the victims, Mahama tweeted Wednesday:

I stand in solidarity with the UK. My thoughts are with the families and victims of the Manchester terror attack.

— John Dramani Mahama (@JDMahama) May 24, 2017

Meanwhile, president Akufo-Addo has also condemned the attack describing it as “cowardly acts.”

“Shocked and saddened by yesterday’s terror attack in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of 22 people and injuries to 59.

“I condemn these despicable and cowardly acts, and extend my deepest condolences to the affected families,” Akufo-Addo tweeted.

Twenty-two people, including children, are now known to have been killed and 59 injured in a suspected terror attack at Manchester Arena.

Greater Manchester Police said the lone male attacker, who died in the blast, was carrying an improvised explosive device which he detonated.

Relatives are using social media to hunt for missing loved ones.

Police have set up an emergency telephone number in response to the attack. It is: 0161 856 9400.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said it was “a barbaric attack, deliberately targeting some of the most vulnerable”.

The prime minister is to chair a meeting of the government’s emergency Cobra committee at around 09:00 BST.

In light of the attack, political parties have suspended campaigning ahead of the general election.
The explosion occurred shortly after Ariana Grande left the stage at the arena – the city’s largest indoor venue with a concert capacity of around 21,000.

Grande – a 23-year-old American TV teen actress-turned-pop star – has a strong following among teenage girls and children.

The pop star tweeted: “broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.”

The blast occurred close to the entrance to Victoria train and tram station has been closed and all trains cancelled.

Police also carried out a precautionary controlled explosion in the Cathedral Garden area of the city at about 01:32. The force later confirmed it was not a suspicious item.
