Christian Atsu‘s family house was filled with tears of joy when the Black Stars star was rescued from the rubble after a building collapsed due to the deadly earthquake that struck areas of Turkey.
Christian Atsu and four of his teammates were stranded in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey on Monday. It took the rescue crew almost a day to locate them.
Some of his family members can be seen beaming in a video by Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV as they learn that he has been recovered alive.
Isaac Yeye Twasam, the senior brother of Atsu disclosed that he had faith that his brother will make it alive because the entire nation backed them in prayers.
He said, “The entire nation backed us in prayers so I knew God will deliver my brother. Although we heard the news, we wanted to confirm it from the club. So I called the agent and we kept in touch.”
Mama Comfort, an aunty to Atsu stated that she has been distressed and unable to sleep after hearing the news.
“We’ve been unable to sleep, I have been praying. Everyone has been calling from friends to church members. His brother informed me that he has been found at dawn. I want to thank Ghanaians for their love and support. They have been more than a family,” she said.
