The body of Christian Atsu, the former Ghana international footballer who died in a devastating earthquake in Turkey, was flown home on Sunday, the country's foreign ministry said.
The flight landed in Accra late on Sunday, and his coffin was carried away by members of Ghana's armed forces. The coffin was later due to be transported to a military hospital morgue.
Atsu, 31, was caught up in a 7.8-magnitude quake that rocked Turkey and Syria on February 6, which has claimed more than 46,000 lives in both countries.
He had been playing for Turkish Super Lig club Hatayspor. There were initial reports the former Chelsea and Newcastle United player had been rescued a day after the quake, but these turned out to be false and his body was found under his home in southern Turkey on Saturday.
