<p>Atsu was confirmed dead on Saturday, February 18, 2023, after his lifeless body was pulled out of the rubble in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey.</p>

<p>This followed days of intense search following the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria in mid-February.</p>

<p>Tributes have poured in from far and near, with many expressing their condolences to the footballer’s family and loved ones.</p>

<p>The deceased footballer’s one-week observation was held last week at the Adjiriganor Astroturf Park, with his funeral slated for March 17.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has also paid tribute to the late Atsu, describing him as an African brother.</p>

<p>The in-form Napoli forward further extended his condolence to families of all the persons who perished in the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria.</p>

<p>This was after he joined a campaign to raise funds for the victims of the earth by donating his jersey to be sold to support the cause.</p>

<p><em>“The earthquakes in Turkey? I don’t know how much my jersey was sold for; even my teammates like Bartosz Bereszynski and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sold their jerseys.</em></p>

<p><em>“Eljif Elmas organized this campaign and of course, we supported it. My condolences to those who lost their lives in the earthquakes. I also lost an African brother in these earthquakes, Christian Atsu from Ghana,”&nbsp;</em>Osimhen said, as quoted by Tutto Napoli.</p>
