Ghana Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia leads the receipt of national football team player Christian Atsu, who died during the massive Turkey earthquake last February 6.
The body of Ghana winger Christian Atsu was flown home to Accra on Sunday evening , the day after he was found dead under a collapsed building in southern Turkey.
Draped in Ghana’s national flag, Atsu’s coffin was received at the capital’s Kotoko International Airport by Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and a large military honor guard. Atsu had been scheduled to fly out of southern Turkey hours before the quake but Hatayspor’s manager said the Ghanaian had opted to stay with the club after scoring the winning goal in a February 5 Super Lig match.
