President Akufo-Addo Condemns Manchester attacks

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has condemned the terror attack in Manchester after an explosion at an Ariana Grande concert that killed 22 people. More than 50 others were injured.  

President Akufo-Addo described the attack as despicable and cowardly acts.

He has extended condolences to the affected families.

Meanwhile, the "Islamic State" group (IS) has claimed responsibility for the attack, which police say was carried out by one man using an improvised explosive device. 

The extent of IS involvement, however, is unclear.

Late Tuesday morning police added that they had arrested a suspect linked to the bombing.
