Management Of Missing Christian Atsu Finally Releases Passionate Statement 

Over 33,000 people have been confirmed dead following the severe earthquake in Turkey, Syria and other neighboring countries.

Christian Atsu was said to be on the 9th floor of  his apartment when the 7.7 magnitude earthquake stroke on Monday February 6, 2023 and after nine searching days, the players is still not found dead or alive.

Speaking for Management of the Ghanaian Hatayspor winger, Nana Sechere has released a press statement on their search, highlighting on numerous efforts and added a plea to the Turkish government to help with adequate resources to aid their search for Atsu.

STATEMENT FROM CHRISTIAN ATSU’S MANAGEMENT BELOW:

“It has been 9 days since the earthquake and we still have not located Christian. 

I am at the quake site in Hatay with Christian’s family. The scenes are unimaginable and our hearts are broken for all the people affected. 

During my time here we have been able to locate Christian Atsu’s exact room location, and we have found two pairs of his shoes. 

Yesterday we received confirmation that thermal imagery was showing signs of up to 5 lives, however, I am told that the only real confirmation of life is through sight, smell and sound, and unfortunately we were not able locate Christian. 

This is a difficult situation and we are extremely grateful to all the Turkish and foreign rescue teams, local civilians and volunteers for their efforts and response in rescuing survivors. However, we urgently need more resources, including a translator, on the ground. Things are moving incredibly slow and as a result of that many rescues are being delayed, and lives are being lost due to the lack of resources available to the workers. 

It is unfortunate that the club is not on the ground with us, side by side, in the search for Christian. Their position and influence, accompanied with their local knowledge would be extremely helpful. We implore the President of the club and mayor of Hatay, Lütfü Savaş to provide additional resources to speed up the rescue efforts as a priority.”
