Meanwhile, President Nana Akufo-Addo has described the late Atsu as a special gift from God to Ghana.
According to him, the former Black Stars winger’s death was a tragedy to the whole country and, therefore, extended his condolences to the family of the deceased.
The President said this when Atsu’s family met with him at the Jubilee House on Monday to discuss the funeral arrangements.
Atsu was confirmed dead on Saturday, February 18, 2023, after his lifeless body was pulled out of the rubble in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey.
