It is recalled that Bawumia in a brief speech at the Kotoka Airport when the remains of the Astu arrived said:

“We anxiously and nervously prayed that our brother Christian Astu will be found alive. We hoped against hope every day that passed; we prayed and prayed but alas when he was found he was no more”

The lady said when the news of the earthquake first broke, the government should have dispatched a search and rescue team immediately to Turkey with the mission to find the player rather than relying only on prayers and hoping for a miracle.

She expressed condolence to the family of the late Christian Atsu in their moment of grief.

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 2000 and 200 comments.
