Romeo Puyaka, the personal barber to Christian Atsu has confirmed that the Ghanaian winger is yet to be found in Turkey following an earthquake that happened on Monday.
In recent days, reports surfaced that the former Newcastle man had been found alive and was in treatment at a hospital in Turkey.
This report has been debunked by Puyaka, who spoke in an interview with Bryt FM.
“I’m Atsu’s personal barber. I met him through Ghanaian player Bernard Mensah who is also my customer. On Tuesday, news broke out that he has been found but that was a fallacy, he has still not been found. The agent of Bernard Mensah, Morrat has been at hospitals in Hatay with his ID card but Atsu was not found. At the moment, the rescue team are still searching for our brother”
“I congratulated him for scoring his first goal for Hatayspor against Kasimpasa on Sunday night. We planned to meet at Istanbul on Wednesday but it couldn’t happen because of the unfortunate incident. I feel worried and it’s my prayer we see Atsu alive”
“At the moment, we are all doing our best to find our brother. The rescue team are still pulling people out from the rubbles and the good thing is that those people are still alive, so I believe we will see our brother alive”
“Atsu is not dead, so I will plead with Ghanaians to pray for him, he only needs our prayer at where he is. I believe he will be saved because of his kind heart. Atsu’s club, Hatayspor were in search of a residence for him, so he was staying with the club’s sporting director and that is how come both are victims” he said.
“Ghanaians should be patience; I will also plead with bloggers to refrain from publishing fake news and I know, miracles will rain on his life this year (2023) because of his kind heart” he concluded.
