CHRISTIAN ATSU'S BODY RETURNED TO GHANA 🇬🇭


The body of the Ghanaian International, Christian Atsu, has been returned to Ghana on Sunday.

Atsu died after the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria two weeks ago brought down his house while he was inside.

The flight from Turkey landed late on Sunday at Kotoka International Airport, and his coffin was carried away by members of Ghana's armed forces. 

Atsu played for Ghana 65 times  and helped Ghana reach the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations final.

He also played for Everton and Newcastle.

Ghana's Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, said "We hoped against hope, every day that passed, we prayed and prayed. But alas, when he was found, he was no more."

He added, "It is a painful loss, a very painful one."
