On Monday, February 6, the earthquakes that shook Turkey and Syria trapped Christian Atsu and several others under debris. Both current president Nana Akufo-Addo and former president John Mahama asked for prayers for his speedy recovery. The following day, Atsu’s club announced that he had only suffered a foot injury and had been rescued. However, it was later revealed that there had been an identity confusion, and Atsu had not been located.
The footage of people being rescued from the wreckage gave hope to many that Atsu would also be found alive. However, the news of his death has shattered the hopes of those who prayed for his safe return. Atsu’s loved ones and fans feel a void in their lives following his untimely death.
