In a statement, the club said any fans found guilty of throwing objects would face serious consequences.

A video posted on social media shows a hand holding a glass bottle, then the word “go” being shouted before it is launched at the window of the coach.

Liverpool drew 0-0 with their arch-rivals in the Premier League encounter.

“Liverpool Football Club utterly condemns the actions that led to damage being caused to the Manchester United team bus during its arrival at Anfield this afternoon,” the statement read.

“We are aware of footage of the incident circulating online and are working with Merseyside Police to fully investigate and identify those responsible.

“Any individuals found guilty of this reprehensible behaviour will also face the full force of the club’s sanction process.”

This is not the first instance of an opposition team bus being pelted with objects at an away ground.

In 2018, Manchester City’s bus was attacked before their Champions League quarter-final with Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield.

The Reds apologised and called the behaviour “completely unacceptable”.

Then in April 2023, Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation after Liverpool’s coach was attacked on its journey back from the Etihad Stadium following a league match.

The intercity bus that was conveying passengers from Kumasi to Ho caught fire few minutes after take-off.

According to sources, the bus developed some mechanical faults, causing the front part of the vehicle to spark fire.

More than 20 passengers escaped unhurt as smoke takes over.

“The incident was happening as they were disembarking, but all of them came out unhurt,” a source told Adom News.

Although Firefighters rushed to the scene to control the fire, the bus was burnt beyond repair.

The cause of the fire is yet to be established.

The issue of road fires has been prevalent in the first quarter of the year. Two of such major fires were recorded in the previous month.

The bus, conveying the team members after a match at the Accra Sports Stadium, was shot at by the armed robbers.

Per report made by the club, three bullets were loaded to the front bulletproof glass, towards the direction of the driver.

However, the team driver is said to have meandered his way through the terrible scene of gunshots.

No individual sustained any injury. The windshield of the bus was punched and left with bullet holes.

Currently, the entire team is safe at Obuasi.

The attack comes barely eight hours after the team played against Hearts of Oak in a match that ended 2:1 in favour of Hearts in Accra.

Information gathered by Adom News suggests the journey to Kumasi forms part of a practical trip the students embark on every two weeks.

Member of Parliament for Bodi, Samson Kwaku Ahi says he will soon haul him before the Special Prosecutor for misappropriating state funds.

His comment comes after Mr Blay bought 275 buses for his party ahead of its Delegates Congress on July 7, 2018.

The initiative, the aspiring chairman explained, is a commercial bus project his job-creation initiative.

But many have criticised the timing of the donation, describing it as being aimed at buying delegates and for that matter the chairmanship slot of his party.

In support, Mr Ahi in an interview with Adom News‘ Parliamentary correspondent said the conduct of Freddie Blay amounts to an abuse of incumbency.

He claimed, the NPP Chairman aspirant used his influence as the Board Chairman for GNPC to secure funding for the bus.

The Bodi MP could not fathom how an Acting party chairman could raise money to buy 275 buses for his party just to secure a position.

He called on President Akufo-Addo to ensure Freddie Blay is investigated by the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu if he [Nana] wants to win the fight against corruption.

If his call is not heeded, Sampson Ahi said, the Minority in Parliament will pursue the case to its logical conclusion.

According to him, the $11million buses for the 275 constituencies of the party are not enough to buy delegates voting on Saturday July 7, 2018.

The acting National Chairman has come under strict scrutiny following the arrival of the buses he has personally purchased for constituencies just days to the crucial national delegates congress.

Mr. Blay who is vying for the National Chairmanship position has been accused of isih the move to buy delegtes’ votes.

His opponent, Stephen Ntim,  has said the timing of the arrival of the buses is enough to conclude that it is a vote buying ploy.

The four-time failed NPP National Chair aspirant argues that if Freddie Blay really loved the party, he would not have waited for elections to bring in the buses.

But in a rebuttal on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Thursday, Blay expressed shock at how his philanthropic gesture is being twisted for partisan politics.

According to him, he expected applauds and not criticisms for his job-creation initiative.

The NPP National Chairman aspirant noted that the buses become the property of the constituencies after the state-owned transport company STC operates and transfers them.

The plan, he stated, would be to allow STC to continue using the buses and pay even more money to the constituencies after the debt has been defrayed.

His only aim for buying the buses for the constituencies, Mr. Blay explained, is for it to serve as a solution to the problem of fundraising for political operations.

The aspiring National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Freddy Blay, has called on political parties, especially the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to take a cue from his idea to purchase 275 buses for his party.

Freddy Blay believes the bus-purchase idea is good and cost-effective and therefore should be an example to the NDC and other organizations that make use of bus services.

“It will be a good example for even our strong opponent which is the NDC to learn from. Not only our party, [but] NDC and all other parties go to funerals, they attend some other conferences, they need transportation and they have to pay a lot but if they have their own buses to take them up and down, it will benefit the party”, he said.

Mr. Freddy Blay was speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday.

The Acting Chairman of the NPP had promised to provide a bus for each of the 275 constituencies of his party to be used as a means of raising funds for party.

A move that has been heavily criticised by many including the Ghana Integrity Initiative and other anti-corruption agencies.

He, however, responded to the assertions by the GII and other critics, saying the “GII and its members have no idea about what goes into running or organising a political party in Ghana”.

Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Freddy Blay says he will not disclose the source of funding for the purchase of 275 buses he has proposed to acquire for the party.

According to him, he is dealing with a financial institution that does not allow him to reveal their identity until the deal is sealed completely.

He indicated that he has, through a facility, acquired 275 buses for the 275 constituencies of the NPP in the country.

Per his proposition, Constituency Chairmen and Secretaries are to co-sign for each constituency.

The buses, when delivered, will be run commercially by any bus operator in the country, a process he said they were currently deliberating.

“Money is shy, those who deal with you over money and those financing, you in one way or the other, don’t want you to disclose them and make so much noise. The financial institution is ready to help”, he said.

“Don’t forget that institutions have other clients too who will not be happy when you reveal who they are, till the contract is fully done. So, for one reason or the other, we don’t want to do any disclosures”, he added.

With the elections barely two months away, the move to purchase buses has been heavily criticised by some political commentators and the Ghana Integrity Initiative, describing it as vote-buying.

The Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) has since appealed the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) and the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) to probe Mr Blay.

Speaking exclusively in an interview with Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, Mr Blay downplayed the concerns that the move is an attempt to influence delegates to vote for him as Chairman of NPP.

According to him, the intentions are in the best interest of the NPP even at the grassroots level, adding that he is only doing will help to resource the party.

“Ghanaians are interested in parties being run well. Has anybody bothered to know what we have been doing in the past, how we have been financing the party, how we go for conferences,” he asked.

“Why is it that this time around that we are going for elections, all of a sudden you say you want to do this and people say they want to know where you intend to get the money”, he asked further.

The STC claim to have secured the terminal for its operations.

But the members of the Asafo Neoplan Bus Terminal claim the supposed secured point for operations is unsafe, insisting it is by the road side.

They have moved to ground one of the STC buses from moving passengers to their destination.

It took police men from the SWAT team from the Ashanti police Headquarters led by Commander of Operations, Supt. Caesar Abanga, hours to bring sanity to the densely populated BB arena as the two protagonists held unto their entrenched position.

Police who have moved in to ensure security have arrested one person believed to be a member of the Neoplan Association.

Nhyira Fm’s Nana Yaw Gyimah reported on Adom Midday News that traffic came to stand-still on the tiny stretch of the road as many shops remained closed.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah who together with his deputy and KMA boss swiftly moved to save the situation says calm has been restored.

According to Simon Osei Mensah, a meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow to find a lasting solution.

Footage has emerged of the moment emergency services led the migrant away after the bus had arrived in the Spanish city of Seville.

Incredibly, the boy, who was wearing a dirtied white t-shirt, was unhurt after his ordeal having held himself in position under the vehicle for the entire journey from Tetouan, near Tangier in Morocco.

The incident was the latest example of the desperate measures taken by some migrants to get to Europe.

Emergency services in the southern Spanish city said he had been taken to hospital but was in good condition.

A police spokesman told AFP the boy appeared to be Moroccan. He said he had been told the bus came from Tetouan.

‘The bus arrived in Seville, and when the driver was going to let the passengers out, he noted something strange,’ the spokesman said.

‘He called the police and firefighters, and they found the boy who was holding onto the bottom of the bus,’ he added.

Migrants from Africa regularly risk their lives trying to get into Europe via Spain.

Many attempt to cross the Mediterranean sea in rickety boats or climb over the border fence that separates the Spanish territories of Ceuta and Melilla from northern Morocco.

Earlier this month, a car with five migrants hidden inside rammed its way through a border post between Morocco and Melilla, forcing officers to abandon their posts to avoid being run over.

Once inside Melilla, the Moroccan driver abandoned the car but was soon detained by police.

Inside the vehicle, they found five migrants — two in the boot, two others under a false bottom in the rear seats and another in the dashboard.

They say the bus plunged off the road in a steep ravine near the town of Karatu.

A number of people were injured. Officials are now trying to remove dead bodies from the vehicle.

The students from a primary school in Arusha were travelling to another school to sit an exam.

The final year pupils from the Lucky Vincent school – believed to be aged between 12 and 14 – were on their way to take mock exams when the accident happened on Saturday morning.

Two teachers and the driver were also killed.

President John Magufuli said the accident was a “national tragedy”.

“This accident extinguishes the dreams of these children who were preparing to serve the nation, it is an immense pain for the families involved and for the whole nation,” he said.

The cause of the crash is being investigated.

PRO of Akusey District Police, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh, in an interview with Adom News said the highway police stopped the bus which was travelling from Ashaiman to Ho and during interrogations; they realized the man with the baby could not be the father of the baby.

The man on sight at the police team bolted leaving the baby on board with a bag containing sharp knives and a mobile phone.

The items found with the baby deepened police suspicion that the baby was going to be used for rituals.

The police arrested the suspect after a manhunt and is now looking for the mother of the baby.

ASP Tetteh appealed to all parents of Ashaiman, Ho and its environs to help them locate the mother of the baby to also assist in investigations.

“The suspect is in his early thirties. He could not give any tangible reason. When he got down he took to his heels. There was a very sharp knife. We suspected he was taking the child to the slaughter…”

“I plead with the public to spread the information to effect immediate collection of the baby before other processes sets in place…” he noted.
