The Ghanaian international Christian Atsu, who perished in the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey, is receiving heartfelt tributes from social media users.

Many people sent out tribute tweets with saying "Goodbye, my friend," including singer Patoraking.

Others tweeted, ‘Rest in Peace’, ‘Fare Thee Well, Christian Atsu’ and many others are some of the comments from fans across the nation and football fraternity as the final funeral rites are underway at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former President John Mahama and other dignitaries have since filed past the remains of the former Black Stars players.

Thousands of mourners and well-wishers from Ghana and abroad have also paid their respect to Christian Atsu.
