Veteran highlife music producer, Fred Kyei Mensah popularly known as Fredima, following the Turkey earthquake which led to the death of Christian Atsu, has shared his experience and how he saw the end of the great footballer on Showbiz 927 with Caleb Nii Boye.
Fredima expressed that those likely to survive such situations are children unlike adults who are more careful of their surroundings which makes them more prone to danger. He revealed how his blood pressure rose when he got stuck in an elevator.
“I have experienced some before. If you’ve listened to my conversations, I even granted an interview to a network. I got trapped in an elevator in a recording studio to CHM. It was a horrifying experience. For you to be in a vacuum where there’s no oxygen.
“In my closet, people that I have spoken to, based on experience, books that I have read and from other stories that have been told about the survival rate of others, I saw that he couldn’t survive,”he said.
He also noted that if Christain Atsu had survived, he would be rid of engaging in some bodily functions. Fredima also pointed out that one day he will go, but his work will live forever. He preached the essence of leaving a good legacy to be remembered by.
According to Freddie Man who sympathised with the family, including others who were surviving from the benevolence of Christain Atsu’s philanthropic works, he doubts if there would be another so selfless to help others.
“It is rather unfortunate. We were all happy when news broke out that he has been found. The kind of jubilation that we went through, that’s what we were expecting. But the Lord said this is what I am also expecting. My condolence to the family, especially the wife and kids,” Freddie Man added.
