Militants attacked and fired on people at the Grand Bassam beach on Sunday and have killed at least 16 people in the attack.

Officials confirm four of the dead people are Westerners with French and German national as the beach resort is popular to both locals and foreigners.

Black Stars vice-captain who is in France receiving treatment on an injury that kept him out of Swansea City’s Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth over the weekend tweeted:

“PRAY FOR BASSAM”

The ankle knoch that kept Andre Ayew out of the Premier League last weekend could be a huge blow to Ghana who have a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against Mozambique later this month.

Swansea City caretaker boss Alan Curtis said despite Andre’s injury not being a serious one, the former Olympique Marseille player is a huge doubt for the game against his brother Jordan Ayew in the English Premier League.

Curtis also confirmed Ayew should be fine after the international break which will not be happy news for Black Stars coach Avram Grant.
