Where is my brother if you have found him- Atsu’s sister demands

The twin sister of former Ghanaian Winger, Christian Atsu, is demanding the whereabouts of her twin brother.

“If you have seen him, we thank God but where is he? Nobody knows where my brother is and it is giving me sleepless nights,” Christiana Atsupie told crimecheckghana.org in an exclusive interview.

Atsu who plays for Hatayspor in Turkey was among thousands of people left under rubble following Monday morning’s earthquake.

His agent, Murat Uzunmehmet, in an earlier interview with crimecheckghana.org, confirmed that the player’s apartment was affected by the quake

Later, news went rife that the player had been rescued after being trapped in rubbles for over 26hours, his team Hatayaspor`, in an official statement confirmed he was “safe and sound”

However, a day after the statement, neither his team, Hatayspor nor agent; Murat Uzunmehment has been able to tell where he is receiving treatment.

“I am in a confused state now; I don’t know whether my brother has been rescued or not”

 “This is a delicate situation for anyone to toil about, I know the team is doing what they can to look for their relatives as well as teammates but why would you release a statement confirming his safety when you have not seen him” she quizzed.

However, at the time of filing this report, the club’s doctor, Gurbey Kahveci is quoted to have said that “When we heard the news that he was taken to Dortyol Hospital, we especially went and looked but he was not there. At the moment, we accept that the sporting director, Savut Taner, and Christian Atsu were not found on unfortunately”

BACKGROUND

Atsu was in action for the club over the weekend in their victory over Kasimpasa in the Turkish top flight with the Ghanaian scoring the only goal.

The Monday, February 6, 2023 earthquake claimed over 5000 lives while over 15,000 others sustained various degrees of injuries.

The powerful earthquake struck south-eastern Turkey, near the Syrian border. The US Geological Survey said the 7.8 magnitude tremor struck at 04:17 local time {01:17GMT} at a depth of 17.9km {11miles} near the city of Gaziantep.

Hours later, a second quake which had a magnitude of 7.5, hit the Elbistan District of Kahramanmaras province.

Last September, the 31-year-old Black Star penned a one-year deal to join the Turkish side following a spell in Saudi Arabia.
