Mr. Mensah appealed to the public, corporate community, and individuals to provide financial assistance to help save the lives of the remaining victims.
He expressed concern over the high cost of treatment, emphasizing that the community urgently needs assistance to cover the expenses.
‘So now the death toll has become five, instead of the initial three that we had already buried. So we are preparing to have another discussion on how to bury the tree. But fortunately for us, the other one was Nurudeen Morrison, 24 years old, he is a Muslim, just this Monday, he was buried at Mankessim.”
“Then yesterday, at dawn, we learned of the passing of Daniella Cornelius, who is 14 years old and has been taken to Korle-Bu for the past 18 days. She has also passed. Now the death toll has risen to six, with four since being buried, leaving the other two.”
“In fact, I will use your medium to advocate for the general public, especially the corporate community, individuals, and groups of people, to come to the aid of Egyiresia”
