Ho Mosque Shooting Victims Plead for President Mahama’s Help Amid Rising Bills and Fear
People injured in the recent shooting at the Ho Central Mosque in Ghana’s Volta Region are calling on President John Mahama and other leaders to step in quickly.
They are worried about huge hospital bills, feeling unsafe in their own community, and some even thinking about moving away to protect themselves and their families.
The scary incident happened on Friday, December 26, during preparations for weekly prayers. Masked gunmen opened fire, injuring around 10 to 11 people, including one woman. Some property was also damaged in the chaos.
Those who survived say the attack has turned their lives upside down. Many are still in hospital getting treatment, while others are dealing with shock and worry about what might happen next.
In interviews with local reporters, some of the hurt victims shared their stories from that day. They want the president to make sure the attackers are caught and punished so nothing like this happens again.
People living and working near the mosque are also scared. Many say they no longer feel safe going about their daily lives.
“We are living in fear every day now,” several residents said. Some traders and families are even planning to leave the area for good.
The shooting seems linked to a long-running disagreement over leadership at the mosque. Police have arrested several suspects and are investigating, but the victims say more help is needed right away to bring peace and justice.
