Former President John Dramani Mahama has called on Ghanaians to keep Black Stars forward Christian Atsu in their prayers following reports of him going missing in Turkey after Monday’s earthquake.
In a tweet, the former president said “Let’s continue to pray for our brother, Christian Atsu, and his club director. The city of Hayat is in the region affected by the earthquake. Let’s continue to pray that God spares their lives.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also called for prayers for the people of Turkey and divine protection for Atsu.
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and some celebrities also expressed their concerns about the situation while hoping that God rescues the former Chelsea player.
“My thoughts and prayers are with our brother Christian Atsu, all Ghanaians in Turkey and Syria and the people in these countries following the earthquake.”
The likes of rapper Guru, Abeiku Santana, Afro-gospel star Joseph Matthew, Menaye Donkor Lydia Forson and many others have offered prayers to the footballer.
Turkish publication Star claims a search-and-rescue operation is underway to find the former Chelsea star after he was caught up in the 7.8 magnitude quake on Monday.
