“He’s been doing marvellous things since infancy. He could make a heater from sardine tins. He was in the room once the lights were out and we were all outside. By the time we realised, he had used sardine tins to make a heater."

Theresa Mensah added that Isaac Mensah often said he would like to become a doctor in the future.

“When he was much younger, he always said he would be studious so he could become a doctor, and God keeps glorifying himself in his life.”

She prayed for her son and his teammates, asking God to help and protect them so all their dreams could come true.

“I pray God ensures that he will live to fulfil his purpose. No harm should come near him nor his teammates.”
