A white woman purported to be the wife of former Ghanaian forward, Christian Atsu has sympathised with the actual wife of the late footballer.
The lady, identified as @sofiakasy on TikTok made the remark while refuting earlier reports which suggested that she was Atsu’s wife.
Debunking the reports, she said: “I am getting a lot of comments about me being Atsu’s wife. I am not Atsu’s wife, I do not know even if I am saying the name right, but I feel sorry for his wife.”
She further clarified that the viral video in which she was heard grieving over the loss of her lover was in reference to her fiancé, who also lost his life during the Turkey-Syria earthquake which struck on February 6, 2023.
“I lost my husband, my fiancé, my everything in the Turkey earthquake, and I just wanted to come out here and let everyone know I am not Atsu’s wife,” she said.
Ghanaians are yet to come to terms with the death of Christian Atsu who was involved in the Turkey earthquake. He was found dead 12 days after the incident occurred. He was subsequently returned to Ghana, pending his final funeral rites.
Plans are underway to give Atsu a befitting burial, as promised by the government. After a meeting between his family, the Ghana Football Association and the Sports Ministry, it was announced that his one-week celebration would be commemorated on March 4, 2023.
