The disclosure was contained in a statement issued and signed by the Minister for the Interior and National Security, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak.
According to the statement, the government received disturbing information from authorities in Burkina Faso regarding the incident, which reportedly involved a truck transporting tomato traders from Ghana.
“The Government of Ghana has received disturbing information from Burkina Faso of a truck carrying tomato traders from Ghana which was caught in a terrorist attack in Titao, Burkina Faso,” the Minister stated.
He indicated that the Ghana Embassy in Burkina Faso is currently liaising with officials of the Burkinabe authorities to visit the attack site to ascertain the full details of the incident and identify any Ghanaian nationals affected.
The statement did not immediately confirm casualties or injuries but assured the public that further information would be communicated as soon as it becomes available.
Titao, located in northern Burkina Faso, has in recent years experienced recurrent extremist violence amid ongoing security challenges in the Sahel region.
Government officials say efforts are underway to gather verified information and provide the necessary support to any Ghanaian nationals impacted by the attack.
Further updates are expected in the coming days as diplomatic and security officials continue engagements with their counterparts in Burkina Faso.
