What Ghanaians are saying about the new CCTV footage regarding Christian Atsu

The new development is already getting lots of reactions on Ghana social media. Below are some comments shared.

Nanny Lovette said:

I feel his wife or housemates could help rescuers find him by giving detailed information about his nighttime and early morning routines. For example; some people leave home at 5:15am to the gym and return back home at 6:00 am .. knowing more about his routine could help figure out whereabouts he could have been at the time of the earthquake.. maybe he went to drive his car out to a place he usually frequents around that time…I’m just soo worried about his disappearance.. it’s heartbreaking.

Isaac Nana Owusu indicated:

I still believe he's not dead. I had a dream last night and it was like, he's alive and much well so I saw again a cloud of Peoples around him wearing white uniforms celebrating, singing joyful song. But one thing is he was the only person among us wearing black top and red cloth used to cover his neck. I'm praying the Lord Almighty will locate and rescue from wherever he's
